This round of Eurobarometer surveys diverged from the Standard Eurobarometer measures and queried respondents on the following major areas of focus: (1) poverty and social exclusion, (2) mobile phone use, (3) economic crisis, and (4) international trade. For the first major area of focus, poverty and social exclusion, the survey queried respondents about their own definition of poverty, the extent of poverty and homelessness in their area, and whether or not respondents believed poverty had increased in their area and elsewhere. Respondents were queried about what necessities people must be able to afford to meet a minimal acceptable living standard, who is most at risk for poverty, as well as the social, political, and personal causes of poverty and homelessness. Respondents were also asked about how poverty impacts peoples' chances of completing certain activities, such as getting a good education or finding a job. Respondents were then asked whether or not they trust the European Union (EU), their governments, charities, other citizens, and miscellaneous institutions to effectively respond to poverty. Respondents were also asked to whom they assign primary responsibility for reducing or preventing poverty, what policies their governments should focus on in the future in the effort to help people out of poverty, and whether or not respondents approved of their government's existing anti-poverty measures. Respondents were also queried about their perception of social tensions between groups, and about what they have done personally to help poor people. Additionally, respondents were queried about their own living conditions, satisfaction with life, ability to keep a job, efforts to fight poverty, finances, and their own risk of falling into poverty. For the second major area of focus, mobile phone use, the survey asked respondents about whether or not they owned a mobile phone, their mobile phone use in other EU countries, and the cost of cellular phone service in those countries. For the third major area of focus, economic crisis, the survey questioned respondents about the degree to which the crisis personally affected them, how the crisis affected the EU and its policy efforts, who should bear responsibility for the crisis, who should bear the burden of response to the crisis, and how the European Parliament and other bodies should respond to the crisis. For the fourth major area of focus, international trade, the survey queried respondents on whether they pay attention to the country of origin for products they purchase, how trade impacts respondents and their countries, what European Union trade policy should be going into the future, and the European Union's international economic standing. Demographic and other background information collected includes age, gender, nationality, marital status and parental relations, left-right political self-placement, occupation, age when stopped full-time education, household composition, ownership of a fixed or a mobile telephone and other durable goods, difficulties in paying bills, level in society, and Internet use. In addition, country-specific data includes type and size of locality, region of residence, and language of interview (select countries).

This round of Eurobarometer surveys queried respondents on standard Eurobarometer measures, such as how satisfied they were with their present life, whether they attempted to persuade others close to them to share their views on subjects they held strong opinions about, whether they discussed political matters, what their expectations were for the next 12 months, and how they viewed economic and social issues in their country compared to the European Union (EU). Additional questions focused on the respondents' knowledge of and opinions on the EU, including how well-informed they felt about the it, what sources of information about the EU they used, whether their country had benefited from being an EU member (or would benefit from being a future member), and the extent of their personal interest in EU matters. Another major focus of the surveys was personal data privacy. The survey asked respondents about their knowledge of the rules and requirements in protecting personal data, the ability of the law to protect citizens from entities accessing their information, and whether law enforcement should be able to access personal information for the purpose of fighting crime and terrorism. For the second major focus of the survey, the national economy, respondents were asked to evaluate their personal financial situation and their nation's economy, as well as to estimate the official growth rate (Gross Domestic Product), inflation rate, and unemployment rate, and then to compare these rates to those from previous or future years. Respondents also provided their opinion about the use of statistical information, especially for political decision-making. As a final
major focus, respondents were asked about their interest in scientific research including how the media presents information about scientific research and what types of media they access to get information about this topic. Additional questions were asked of respondents in regard to globalization and involvement of the EU in this process, the 50th anniversary of EU achievements, the development of environmental, foreign, and immigration policies, and the European Council presidency. Demographic and other background information includes respondent's age, gender, nationality, origin of birth (personal and parental), marital status, left-to-right political self-placement,
occupation, age when stopped full-time education, household composition, ownership of a fixed or a mobile telephone and other durable goods, type and size of locality, region of residence, and language of interview (select countries).

This round of Eurobarometer surveys diverged from the
Standard Eurobarometer measures and queried respondents on the
following topics: (1) cultural values, (2) poverty and social
exclusion, (3) developmental aid, and (4) residential mobility. For
the first major focus, cultural values, the survey asked respondents
questions pertaining to the meaning and importance of culture, their
interest and participation in cultural activities, and their national
identity. The respondents were also asked to identify cultural values
for Europe as well as other countries, about the importance and
promotion of cultural exchange, and whether they would learn a foreign
language. For the next major focus, respondents were asked to evaluate
their personal financial situation and that of people dwelling in the
vicinity of their homes, and to ascertain why people fall into poverty
or are excluded from society. They were also asked why people become
homeless, the likelihood that they, themselves, would become homeless,
and whether they help the homeless. Respondents were further asked to
evaluate their quality of life and to determine their needs in
attaining decent living conditions for themselves and for
children. For the third major focus, respondents were asked to
evaluate their knowledge of developmental aid plans, the European
Consensus on Development, and the Millennium Development
Goals. Respondents were asked to identify the motivation of countries
providing developmental aid, and the added value of the European Union (EU) in doing
so. In addition, respondents shared their opinions as to which
organizations should have the most influence on the priorities for
developmental aid, and which countries and issues should be
acknowledged as needing the most attention and assistance. The final
major focus pertained to residential mobility. The survey queried
respondents about their relocation history, reasons for moving or not
moving, countries to which they intended to move, preparing for a move
(including difficulties they may encounter), and the duration of their
stay at a location. Demographic and other background information
includes respondent's age, gender, nationality, origin of birth
(personal and parental), marital status, left-to-right political
self-placement, occupation, age when stopped full-time education,
household composition, and ownership of a fixed or a mobile telephone
and other durable goods. In addition, country-specific data include
the type and size of locality, region of residence, and language of
interview (select countries).

This round of Eurobarometer surveys queried respondents on standard Eurobarometer measures, such as how satisfied they were with their present life, whether they attempted to persuade others close to them to share their views on subjects they held strong opinions about, whether they discussed political matters, and how they viewed the need for societal change. Additional questions focused on the respondents' knowledge of and opinions on the European Union (EU) including how well-informed they felt about it, what sources of information about the EU they used, whether their country had benefited from being an EU member (or would benefit from being a future member), and the extent
of their personal interest in EU matters. Another major focus of the surveys was to ask respondents to express their opinion in regard to the European Constitution, including its adoption and ratification. Respondents also were asked about EU enlargement including whom they would favor to join the EU, the political, social, and economic effects of enlargement, and initiatives for the success of further EU enlargement. In addition, respondents were asked questions about exports versus imports and migration among the EU's old and new member states, the accession of Western Balkan countries and Turkey, and financial assistance available to EU member and candidate countries. Special topics included quality of life, avian influenza, and energy issues. For the first special topic, quality of life, the survey asked respondents to evaluate the economic, social, and environmental situation among several domains, in addition to their personal financial status and quality of life, and to identify priorities for the improvement of the EU economy. For the next special topic, respondents were queried about avian influenza, its transmission, regulations preventing its spread, their behavior in consuming poultry and eggs, dissemination of health information, and public safety. For the final special topic, respondents answered questions about their usage of energy and how the EU citizens and government could reduce energy consumption and utilize alternative resources.

This round of Eurobarometer surveys diverged from the standard Eurobarometer measures and queried respondents on their opinions regarding the future of Europe, consumer protection for transborder purchases, family planning, and overall opinions and experiences of making transborder purchases within the internal market of the European Union (EU). The first part of the interview concerned the future of Europe. To start the interview, respondents were asked
questions regarding their knowledge and support of EU enlargement, as well as their interest in domestic and European affairs. Respondents gave their views on decision-making at the European level, the effects of European unification, the possible harmonization of social welfare systems within the EU, and the impact of the euro. Next, questions were asked regarding consumer protection in the internal market of the EU. Respondents gave their views on consumer security for transborder purchases, the return of products within a cooling-off period, consumer contract terms, and the purchasing of financial services. Questions were also asked regarding the receipt of unsolicited advertisements that may be fraudulent, deceptive or misleading, respondents' experiences with cross-border shopping, the purchase of travel packages within the EU, and the overall provision of safety information for consumers. The third portion of the interview collected information on respondents' views in regard to family
planning. Questions were asked regarding ideal family size, the timing of giving birth to and raising children, decision-making in having another child, and the future of respondents' household situations. Respondents gave their views on the roles of men and women in raising children, the ideal ages for men and women to have children, and solutions for potential shortages in the workforce. The last topic of the survey addressed consumers' overall opinions and experiences within the internal market of the EU. A series of questions addressed the impact of the European Single Market, transborder purchases of
goods and services, and the potential for travel or change of residency to another member state in order to work or to attend school. Respondents gave their views concerning citizens' rights in the Single Market, seeking assistance within the Single Market, as well as their preferences in taking out a mortgage or insurance policy in another member state of the EU. Background information includes respondent's age, gender, parental origin of birth, marital status, left/right political self-placement, occupation, age when they stopped full-time education, household composition, national provenance, telephone equipment, attendance at religious services, and possession of major consumer durables.

This round of Eurobarometer surveys queried respondents on standard Eurobarometer measures, such as how satisfied they were with their present life, whether they attempted to persuade others close to them to share their views on subjects they held strong opinions about, whether they discussed political matters, what their country's goals should be for the next 10 or 15 years, and how they viewed the need for societal change. Additional questions focused on the respondents' knowledge of and opinions on the European Union (EU), including how well-informed they felt about the EU, what sources of information about the EU they used, whether their country had benefited from being an EU member (or would benefit from being a future member), and the extent of their personal interest in EU matters. Another major focus of the surveys was to ask respondents to express their opinion regarding EU enlargement including whom they would favor to join the EU, and in particular, the possible accession of Turkey. Respondents residing in EU countries were asked to identify fears they may have regarding EU enlargement. All respondents were asked their opinion about the effects of and the EU's role in globalization. The survey also examines world politics by asking respondents about the roles of the United States and the EU, and in general how the EU would compare itself to the United States, Japan, China, and India in several areas. In addition, respondents were asked to identify two most important issues facing their country, and whether the process of decision-making about these issues should be done by their country alone, by the EU, or jointly. The survey also queried respondents about their views on (1) the EU's budget and its allocation of funds to programs, (2) the EU's role in immigration, health care and economics including trade, pensions, and employment, and (3) the EU's
development of economic, defense, and security policies, educational programs, and a constitution. Special topics included energy consumption, agricultural policy, and media use. Respondents were asked about their usage of energy, and about how the EU's citizens and government could reduce consumption and utilize alternative resources. They were also asked about EU agricultural policy and how
it may benefit farmers, consumers, the environment, and the world market. In addition, respondents were asked questions regarding the types of media they used to obtain news and information about the EU, frequency of news media use, the purpose for Internet use, and their views regarding how frequently the media talks about the EU and how the media presents the EU to citizens. Demographic and other background information includes respondent's age, gender, nationality, marital status, left-right political self-placement, occupation,
age at completion of full-time education, household composition, and use of a fixed or a mobile telephone.

This round of Eurobarometer surveys diverged from the standard Eurobarometer measures and queried respondents on their opinions regarding labor and residential mobility, risk issues regarding food, smoking habits and passive smoking, AIDS prevention, and medical errors. Respondents' attitudes toward labor and residential mobility included what was most important for their quality of life, the main reasons they had for moving, what improved and what got worse after the last time they moved to another region or European Union country, whether they intended to move to another member state in the near future, their reasons for changing their place of residence, and the most important difficulties they would have to face. Respondents were also asked for their current job and previous job, their title, the reason for changing jobs, as well as their satisfaction with their current job and professional life.
Respondents were asked additional questions about whether they took any training courses to improve their professional skills in the last 12 months, and the main reason why they did or did not. The second topic covered was risk issues regarding food. Respondents were asked questions such as: (1) what came to mind when thinking about possible problems or risks associated with food, (2) when going shopping for food, what were the most important factors that influenced their choices, (3) compared to ten years ago, had food safety improved,
(4) if a serious food risk were found in fish or chicken, who would they trust the most to inform them about the risk, and (5) whether they had heard any European Union regulations about food safety, consumers' rights, or quality standards for hospitals. The third topic was about smoking habits and passive smoking. Respondents answered questions such as: (1) if they smoked every day, how many cigarettes a day they smoked, (2) if they were in favor of smoking bans in the public space, (3) how often they were bothered by exposure to tobacco smoke in daily life, and (4) why this exposure to tobacco bothered
them. Another topic covered was AIDS prevention. Respondents' opinions were sought regarding how AIDS can be caught, whether the measures currently being undertaken in their country (such as an information campaign on the types of behavior that expose people to infection by the AIDS virus, and research funding to find an AIDS vaccine) were very effective and useful. The final topic, medical errors, asked how often respondents read or heard about medical errors in their country, how important a problem they thought medical errors were in their country, whether they or a family member suffered a serious medical error, and how likely it was that a hospital patient could avoid a
serious medical error. Background information includes respondent's age, gender, nationality, origin of birth (personal and parental), marital status, left-to-right political self-placement, occupation, age when they stopped full-time education, household composition,region of residence, and use of a fixed or a mobile telephone.

This round of Eurobarometer surveys diverged from the standard Eurobarometer measures and queried respondents on their opinions regarding science and technology, social values, and services of general interest. Questions concerning the first topic focused on the respondents' attitudes toward science and technology issues including what areas they were most interested, how informed respondents were in general, and recent visits to a museum of science and technology or another type of public museum. Other questions measured respondents' level of trust in science, their views on the role science and technology should have in improving the economy, the potential benefits or harmful effects of science, and the role the European Community plays in scientific research. Another topic covered was social values in relation to science and technology. Respondents were asked how often they thought about the meaning and purpose of life, about their spiritual beliefs, what kind of family they grew up in, how often they trusted other people, how satisfied they were with their lives, whether a university education is more important for a man than for a woman, and whether men make better political leaders than women. The surveys also solicited respondents' opinions with respect to developing technologies (including solar energy, biotechnology, genetic engineering, the Internet, nanotechnology), and possible applications of science and technology over the next 20 years (such as cloning monkeys or pigs for use in research into human diseases or cloning human beings so that couples can have a baby even when one partner has a genetic disease). Respondents were queried on their opinions about humanity's relationship to nature, what decisions about science and technology should be based primarily on, how important they thought science and technology would be for their society in ten years' time, and if what those who are involved in science and technology do has a positive effect on society. Finally, the topic of services of general interest (such as electricity, natural gas, fixed telephone, mobile phone, postal services, local transport, rail transport, and air transport) included questions regarding satisfaction with the provision of services, accessibility, fairness in pricing, quality of service, and customer service. Background information collected includes respondent age, gender, nationality, marital status, left-right political self-placement, occupation, age at completion of education, household composition, telephone equipment, religion, and region of residence.

This round of Eurobarometer surveys queried respondents on the standard Eurobarometer measures as well as agricultural policy, development aid, social capital, and information and communication technology. To start the interview, standard trend questions were asked regarding support for membership of the European Union, trust in three specific institutions (the Parliament, the Commission, and the Council), support for the European Constitution, and the international political situation. Next, questions were asked regarding agriculture policy. Respondents gave their views on the role of the agriculture policy of the European Union (EU), whether the policy was playing its role well or badly, and whether the EU should subsidize agricultural products or grant more funds to the overall rural economy and to direct support for farmers. The third portion of the interview collected information on respondents' views on development aid. Questions were asked pertaining to the importance of helping people in impoverished countries, providing aid to those countries, how much of the nation's and the European Commission's budget should be spent on aid to other countries, whether the respondent had heard about the Millennium Development Goals, and which three actions would be the most important for their government to undertake in order to help developing countries achieve the Millennium Development Goals. Another major focus of the survey was social capital. A series of questions addressed satisfaction with life, the importance of different aspects of life, personal networks, political and social commitment, and discrimination experience. The last topic of the survey was information and communication technology at the workplace. Respondents were asked what technological devices were most prevalent in their daily lives (both professional and personal), to what extent they made use of computers and the Internet, whether they had received information and communication technology training, and whether they were able to telecommute (telework). Background information includes respondent's age, gender, nationality, origin of birth (personal and parental), marital status, left-to-right political self-placement, occupation, age when they stopped full-time education, household composition, and region of residence.

This round of Eurobarometer surveys diverged from the
standard Eurobarometer measures and queried respondents on (1) the
European Constitution, (2) the Lisbon Agenda, (3) vocational training,
(4) attitudes toward the environment, (5) information and
communication technologies in the workplace, and (6) services of
general interest. For the first topic, respondents were asked about
their knowledge of, and attitudes and opinions towards the draft of
the European Constitution, what sources they trusted to obtain
information about the Constitution, whether they would exercise the
"citizens right of initiative" described in the draft of the
Constitution, and likelihood they would vote in a referendum to ratify
text of the European Constitution. For the second topic, the Lisbon
Agenda, the survey solicited respondents' opinions with respect to the
current and future state of the European economy, and the situation of
the respondent's nation's economy, employment, environment, social
welfare, and quality of life. In addition, respondents were also asked
to assess their personal quality of life, financial situation, and
employment status, and compare Europe's quality of life and economy
with other countries. For the third topic, the survey queried about
the respondents' experiences with vocational training such as the
extent and nature of information and communication technology training
received, sources of funding for such training, recent and future
participation in vocational training, and what sorts of training the
respondents believed would help them to advance in their careers. In
regard to the fourth topic, respondents were asked to identify
particular environmental issues that were of concern to them, and
whether policy makers' should consider the environment in making
decisions about social and economic policies, and employment. In
addition, the survey asked respondents to describe personal efforts
made in taking care of the environment, and identify the level of
government most effective in taking decisions about the environment.
The survey also asked several questions pertaining to the fifth topic,
information and communication technologies. Respondents were asked to
identify the most important technological devices in their daily (both
professional and personal) lives, to what extent they made use of
computers and the Internet, whether or not they received information
and communication technology training, and their ability to telework.
Finally, respondents were asked to identify services of general
interest (telephone, electric, water, postal, public transit)
available to them and which were most used, and provide an opinion
about the affordability of these services, and the quality of the
services received. Demographic and other background information
includes respondent's age, gender, nationality, origin of birth
(personal and parental), marital status, left-to-right political
self-placement, occupation, age when stopped full-time education,
household composition, availability of a fixed or a mobile telephone
in the household, type and size of locality, region of residence, and
language of interview (select countries).

This round of Eurobarometer surveys, composed mainly of
trend questions, queried respondents on the standard Eurobarometer
measures, such as how satisfied they were with their present lives,
whether they attempted to persuade others close to them to share their
views on subjects they held strong opinions about, whether they
discussed political matters, what their respective country's goals
should be, and how they viewed the need for societal change.
Additional questions focused on the respondents' knowledge of and
opinions on the European Union (EU), including how well-informed they
felt about the EU, what sources of information about the EU they used,
whether their country had benefited from being an EU member, and the
extent of their personal interest in EU matters. There were also a
number of questions regarding national identity. In particular,
respondents were asked if they identified themselves more as Europeans
or as citizens of their respective countries, whether or not they were
proud to be Europeans, with what region they most associated, and
what, if any, significance did the EU flag hold for them personally.
Another major focus of the survey was the subject of sport.
Respondents were asked about frequency of participation, motivation to
participate, benefits received and values promoted, what role the EU
should play in regulating sport in Europe, and about negative issues
associated with sporting activities. Background information collected
includes respondents' age, gender, nationality, marital status,
left-right political self-placement, occupation, age at completion of
education, household income, type and size of locality, and region of
residence.

This round of Eurobarometer surveys queried respondents on
standard Eurobarometer measures, such as how satisfied they were with
their present life, whether they attempted to persuade others close to
them to share their views on subjects they held strong opinions about,
whether they discussed political matters, and how much trust they had
in certain institutions like the press, radio, television, police,
army, religious institutions, political parties, and the United
Nations. Additional questions focused on the respondents' knowledge of
and opinions about the European Union (EU), its priorities, budget
spending, foreign, security, and defense policies, and feelings and
fears about the enlargement of the EU and the building of Europe and
the EU. Respondents also expressed whether they felt safer and more
stable economically and politically as a member of the EU, whether
their voice and that of their country counted in the EU, and if the EU
played a positive or negative role in the important issues facing
their country (e.g., crime, taxation, unemployment, terrorism,
inflation, and health care). Respondents were also asked which
European bodies played an important role in the life of the EU and
expressed how much trust they had in these bodies (e.g., European
Parliament, the European Commission, the Council of Ministers of the
EU, The European Ombudsman, The European Court of Auditors, and the
Committee of the Regions of the EU). Respondents were given a
definition of globalization (the general opening-up of all economies,
which leads to the certainty of a world-wide market) and asked if they
felt globalization was a good thing for the country, and whether it
would cause power to be concentrated in large companies, increase
global environmental problems, represent a threat to employment,
increase the variety of products for sale, cut the prices of products
and services through increased competition, make it more difficult to
control the quality of food products sold, or lead to a duller and
more uniform world. Respondents were further queried on their feelings
regarding the European Parliament and its power, the likelihood of
voting in the next election, reasons for deciding to vote, what would
make them more likely to vote in the next election, what the election
campaign should focus on, and contact they may have had with members
of the Parliament (whether through newspapers or magazines,
television, radio, Internet, or public meetings). Demographic
variables include marital status, gender, age, current occupation,
whether the respondent lived in a rural area or village, small- or
middle-sized town, or a large town, household income, who contributed
largely to the household income and the occupation of that individual,
and how much toward the left or right the respondent placed their
political views.

Union (EU), financial services and practices, illegal and harmful
Internet content, and product safety instructions. The first topic
focused on the respondents' knowledge of and opinions about the EU in
the areas of employment and social policies, including current and
future sources of information about the EU in these areas. Respondents
were asked questions concerning their awareness of rules and
guidelines set by the EU pertaining to employment. They were also
questioned as to whether the EU has a positive or negative image with
regard to employment and social policies. Another topic covered was
financial services. Respondents were asked about their top financial
priorities, the type of bank accounts they personally had, and if they
had a checkbook, credit card, pension, stocks, bonds, mortgage, and
loans. Respondents were also asked if they use the phone or Internet
to conduct financial transactions. A third topic was about protecting
children from illegal and harmful Internet content. Respondents
answered questions concerning Internet rules in their house, Internet
safety, and procedures for reporting harmful content. The final topic
about product safety instructions included questions about household
products, beauty products, and paints/varnishes. Demographic and other
background information provided includes respondent's age, gender,
nationality, marital status, left-right political self-placement,
occupation, age at completion of education, household income, region
of residence, and subjective size of community.

This round of Eurobarometer surveys diverged from the
standard trends questions, instead focusing on public opinion in the
following major areas: consumer rights, personal data protection,
education through sport, product safety, e-commerce, persons with
disabilities, and national currency. Respondents were asked about
opportunities to settle disputes with a seller or service provider
including actions taken to settle dispute and type of product or
service. A number of questions asked regarded the current justice
system including the respondents' level of trust in the system, areas
that need improvement, and what resources are available to protect
consumer rights. Respondents were also asked about whether they were
concerned with the privacy of their personal data. Questions sought
the respondents' level of trust in national organizations, opinion of
what data protection laws should entail, and whether they had used
tools or technology to protect personal data. Respondents were also
asked about their participation in sports activities. Questions
included how often they perform recreational activities, where they
exercise, what are the benefits and values of sports, and what are the
anticipated outcomes due to the negative aspects of sports. Regarding
safety instructions, respondents were asked if they purchase domestic
electrical appliances. A number of questions focused on product safety
information. Respondents were asked whether they read and obey the
information provided on the product, whether the information impacted
their purchase and/or use of the product, and the most effective way
to provide product instructions. Several questions asked the
respondent to recognize safety symbols labeled on the product, the
symbol's effectiveness, and whether it impacted their purchase
decision. Respondents were also asked whether they purchased products
on the internet, how often, concerns regarding their internet
transactions, why they purchased online, and from what Web sites they

European programs for persons with disabilities, their knowledge of
various types of disabilities, and their view of persons with
disabilities. Lastly, respondents in the euro-zone, were asked
questions that pertained to national currency including how pleased
they were with the establishment of the Euro as the universal
currency. Demographic and other background information collected
includes respondents' age, gender, marital status, nationality,
left-right political self-placement, age at completion of education,
occupation, household income group, type and size of locality, and

This round of Eurobarometer surveys queried respondents on selected standard Eurobarometer measures concerning key topical issues including the euro, European Union (EU) enlargement, foreign policy, national internal policies, and the role of the United States in world affairs. The surveys also collected information regarding computer and Internet usage, including training, type of equipment, locations of use, frequency and duration of use, and about information and services respondents would like to find on the Internet. A major focus of the surveys was concern about issues of immigration and the right of asylum with questions pertaining to unemployment, social inequality, urban violence, terrorism, war, and various types of crime such as illegal immigration, smuggling, and illegal trafficking of drugs and human beings. Respondents were also asked about the importance and desirability of certain measures associated with addressing these issues as well as their level of agreement with selected statements regarding immigration, immigrants, asylum, asylum seekers, and citizen rights. Respondents were further questioned about the place of people belonging to racial, religious, and cultural minorities. Another focus of the surveys was the subject of EU agricultural policies with respondents being queried about competition, diversification, economic support, and benefits to consumers as well as farmers. Two additional areas of inquiry included rail services and consumer protection. The series of questions regarding rail services asked about frequency of train travel in the past 12 months, quality of rail services, handicap accessibility, ticket prices, schedule information, and complaints made in the past 12 months. Questions pertaining to consumer protection asked about aspects of the Single European Market, products or services bought or ordered from another EU country, advertising of products and services by other EU countries, and about the safety of products and services. Demographic information collected includes age, gender, nationality, marital status, left-right political self-placement, occupation, age at completion of education, type and size of locality, and household income.

This round of Eurobarometer surveys queried respondents on standard Eurobarometer measures, such as how satisfied they were with their present life, whether they attempted to persuade others close to them to share their views on subjects they held strong opinions about, whether they discussed political matters, and what the European Union's priorities should be. Additional questions focused on the respondents' knowledge of and opinions about the European Union (EU), including sources of information about the EU and whether their country had benefited from being an EU member. Respondents were also asked how informed they were about EU enlargement, their preferred option for the immediate future of the EU as it concerned the enlargement (i.e., whether the EU should include all, some, or none of the countries wishing to join), and whether they agreed or disagreed with statements regarding the EU enlargement (e.g., whether having more countries in the EU would mean more guaranteed peace and security in Europe, whether the EU should financially help future member countries before they join, and whether the EU should reform the way its institutions work before welcoming new members). In addition to the selected standard trend variables (which included additional questions about the perception of and attitudes toward the European Parliament, the European Convention, and the United States of America), the survey also elicited respondents' opinions about the euro and its introduction as the common European currency. Respondents were asked a series of questions about dual pricing (prices in both the euro and their own respective national currency), its usefulness and necessity, whether they felt handling eight coins was complicated, the usefulness of 1- and 2-cent coins, and whether some of the coins should be replaced by notes. General attitudes regarding the euro replacing their national currency and whether the euro made the respondent feel more European were also assessed. Finally, respondents were asked questions about parental leave, more specifically about the attitudes of men toward taking time off from the workforce for parental leave. Questions addressed the main reasons that would encourage or discourage fathers from taking parental leave. Demographic variables include gender, age, marital status,occupation, and household income.

This round of Eurobarometer surveys queried respondents on standard Eurobarometer measures as well as lifelong learning, health, and partners and fertility. To start the interview, standard trend questions were asked regarding the euro and European Union (EU) policies. New questions were asked about EU expansion and priorities for local and national authorities. Next, questions were asked regarding lifelong learning situations within and outside of one's private life. Respondents were queried about places where learning occurred (e.g., school, work, social situations, and home), whether the study/training was for work or personal reasons, whether it was mandatory, what the benefits were, reasons for future study/training, best ways to improve job skills, obstacles to study/training, most useful information sources for study/training, and how much respondents would be willing to pay toward study/training. Respondents were also asked whether they possessed certain skills and could prove it, whether these skills were important within and outside of their private lives, and which study/training opportunities in the past five years they considered most important. The third portion of the interview collected information on respondent health problems and health-related issues. Questions were asked pertaining to current illnesses, visits to various medical professionals, long-term treatment of a variety of conditions (e.g., diabetes, cancer, and AIDS/HIV), dental issues, health tests, and check-ups (e.g., X-rays, blood pressure, and hearing), diet, alcohol consumption, and opinions of and things done to ensure child safety. Women in the study were asked about their knowledge and use of hormone replacement therapy, gynecological and other female-specific types of exams, and breastfeeding of children. The fourth portion of the survey dealt with issues of family and partners. Respondents were asked about the importance of having a spouse/partner and children, whether the father or mother should carry out certain childcare and household tasks, whether they had children and if so who was responsible for various household and childcare tasks, and with which of these task divisions they were most dissatisfied. They were also queried on plans for more children and desire for and timing of the births of current children. Background variables include age, gender, nationality, marital status, left-right political self-placement, occupation, age at completion of education, type and size of locality, and household income.

This round of Eurobarometer surveys diverged from standard trend questions, instead focusing on various topics regarding respondents' health and opinions pertaining to developing countries. Topics related to health included smoking (e.g., how many packs smoked and how often, whether cigarette and tobacco advertising should be banned, and if the respondents were aware of the tar and nicotine contents of the brand of cigarettes they smoked), environmental risks
(air quality, water quality, noise levels, quality of food, quality of lakes and rivers, exposure to the sun, and waste management), the communication of information regarding health risks and health behaviors, respondents' general health, emotional well-being (if ever happy, sad, calm, peaceful, tense, down-hearted, energetic, or tired), physical activities (like aerobics, digging, cycling, and housework) and the amount of time spent doing various physical activities, blood donation, organ donation, and HIV and AIDS. Questions pertaining to developing countries included the importance of helping people in
impoverished countries, providing aid to those countries, how much of the nation's and the European Commission's budget should be spent on aid to other countries, which countries they felt were in the best position to help developing countries, and if the respondent was aware of the Cotonou Agreement (a partnership agreement between the European Union and all its member countries and the countries from Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific), or had ever heard about the Lome Convention. Demographic variables include marital status, gender,
age, current occupation, whether the respondent lived in a rural area or village, small or middle sized town, or a large town, household income, who contributed largely to the household income and the occupation of that individual, and how much toward the left or right the respondent placed their political views.

lso asked to provide information on whether they had a checkbook, credit cards, life insurance policy, car and other loans, mortgage, or stocks/shares, and whether they would consider obtaining any of these items from another country. The survey also collected information on respondents' preferred method of paying for significant purchases (e.g., with cash, check, credit card, or bank transfer) inside and outside of their own country, and the reasons for this payment preference. Finally, respondents indicated whether or not they agreed with a series of statements regarding financial institutions, such as (1) having a bank account is too expensive, (2) buying on credit is more useful than dangerous, (3) the marketing techniques of financial institutions are aggressive, (4) financial transactions are generally secure, and (5) transactions on the Internet are generally secure. Demographic and other background information collected includes respondents' age, gender, nationality, marital status, left-right political self-placement, occupation, age at completion of education, household income, type and size of locality, and region of residence.

questions regarding the use of a computer and other media devices (mobile phone, personal organizers, cable/satellite/digital TV). Respondents assessed their use of computers and the Internet to find or keep a job, communicate
with family or friends, and to buy products or services. Questions related to computer training, such as the extent of training/qualifications, self-assessment of skill, and use of the Internet in daily life, were also asked. (4) Questions about the topic of health sought to identify sources of health information, use of the Internet as a health information source, and trust in various sources such as consumer organizations, trade unions, government, and media. (5) Questions about the environment included the extent to which respondents worried about aspects of the environment such as the ozone layer, acid rain, pollution of rivers and lakes, and waste management, and the extent to which they felt informed about these issues. Questions regarding personal efficacy, sources of information, trust in various groups, level of government involvement, and solutions to environmental problems were also posed. (6) Questions about the topic of public safety probed respondents' perceived level of safety, belief in the risk of theft or burglary within the next year, and agreement or disagreement on statements relating to public safety (such as burglar alarms can reduce crime, poverty leads to crime, and organized crime has infiltrated the economy). Demographic and other background information provided includes respondent's age, gender, nationality, marital status, left-right political self-placement, occupation, age at completion of education, household income, region of residence, and subjective size of community.

This round of Eurobarometer surveys diverged from standard trend questions, instead focusing on health issues, cross-border purchases, and national identities. European Union (EU) respondents provided information on their health status, including whether they had long-standing illness that limited their work or daily activities. They also answered questions about the health care system in their countries and indicated how well health care was run, whether the government should spend more money on health care, and if they were willing to pay more taxes to contribute to health care. They were also asked how well they were getting by with their households' income, who should pay for taking care of elderly parents, and who should decide what long-term care services an elderly person needs. Another major focus of the surveys was cross-border purchases. EU respondents were asked whether in the last 12 months they bought anything for private use in stores located in other European Union countries, and if so, how they bought the product and how much they paid for it. They were also asked whether the introduction of the euro and the possibility of buying online made them more interested in buying products or services from other EU countries, whether in the last 12 months they heard or saw an advertisement from another EU country, whether they would be more or less confident buying different products or services in another EU country, and what factors would affect their level of confidence. European Union citizens and residents of three European Union candidate countries (the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Poland) described how close they felt to the inhabitants of the city/village/region where they lived, their national fellows, EU citizens and other European residents, Arabs, Turks, Russians, United States' citizens, Gypsies, Jews, and others. They also selected from a list those things or feelings that were crucial to sense of belonging to their nation and to Europe. EU respondents were asked what the most important issues facing their countries were and what their governments should spend extra money on. Additionally, respondents indicated whether they were satisfied with their lives, and the state of the economy, laws, and public transport in their countries. The background information collected includes respondents' age, gender, nationality, marital status, left-right political self-placement, occupation, age at completion of education, household income, type and size of locality, and region of residence.

This round of Eurobarometer surveys diverged from standard questions, instead focusing on youth attitudes toward drugs. During the fieldwork for Eurobarometer 57.2 (see Eurobarometer 57.2: Health Issues, Cross-Border Purchases, and National Identities, April-June 2002 [ICPSR 3543]), an oversample of young respondents, aged 15-24, was added to the basic sample, in order to obtain a total of at least 450 young respondents per country. An additional set of questions was administered to these young respondents eliciting responses on why people experiment with drugs, the main reasons why some people find it hard to stop using drugs, the consequences drug use may cause, the most effective ways of tackling drug-related problems, and the most dangerous drugs. They were also asked who they would turn to if they wanted to know more about drugs, whether it was easy to get drugs, whether people should be punished for using drugs, whether there should be drug testing at school or work, whether they had tried drugs or knew somebody who had, and whether they smoked cigarettes and drank alcohol. Demographic and other background information collected includes respondents' age, gender, nationality, marital status, left-right political self-placement, occupation, age at completion of education, household income, type and size of locality, and region of residence.

This round of Eurobarometer surveys diverged from standard trend questions, instead focusing on agriculture, energy, and discrimination issues. Respondents gave their views on the role of the agricultural policy of the European Union (EU), whether the policy was playing its role well or badly, in what situations the EU should use an agricultural policy, and whether the EU should subsidize agricultural products or grant more funds to the overall rural economy and to direct support for farmers. Another subject of the surveys was energy problems. Respondents indicated to what extent different sources of energy were used in their countries, whether energy use was increasing, which energy sources contributed significantly to global warming and climate change, and which factors could make a significant impact on the amount of energy used in the EU. Those polled provided their opinions on how to solve the problem of EU dependency on other countries in terms of energy supply, what governments' priorities with respect to energy should be, and the main reason for lack of interest among young people in energy-related matters. They were also asked what they were doing to save energy, what energy-saving measures they would support, whether they would pay more for energy produced from renewable sources, whether they paid attention to energy use when buying products, whether they knew how much they paid for electricity last year, and whether they were aware of EU activities in energy-related research. Respondents named what sources they used to obtain information about energy issues, gave their opinions about producing nuclear energy using nuclear fusion, named energy-related areas that they would like to know more about, indicated which energy
sources would be least expensive, most efficient, and environmentally friendly in 2050, and commented on whether in 20 years all energy needs would be satisfied by one or by a mix of different energy sources, and if so, which ones. The poll also elicited respondents' views on discrimination issues. Those polled were asked whether in the last two years they themselves were discriminated against or harassed or witnessed someone being discriminated against or harassed at work, when looking for a job, in public places, when getting housing, or when they were at school, and if so, what the reason was. Respondents were also asked whether they and people in general thought that it was right/wrong to refuse to give anyone a job, training, or promotion, or
to deal differently with customers based on their ethnicity, religion, physical disability, mental illness, age, or sexual orientation. In addition, respondents were asked whether they knew their rights in case they felt discriminated against and whether they were willing to complain or go to court if something like that happened. Demographic and other background information collected includes respondents' age, gender, nationality, marital status, left-right political self-placement, occupation, age at completion of education, household income, type and size of locality, and region of residence.

The Mannheim Eurobarometer Trend File, a collaborative
effort between the Mannheimer Zentrum fur Europaische Sozialforschung
(MZES) and the Zentrum fur Umfragen, Methoden und Analysen (ZUMA),
combined the most important trend questions of the Eurobarometer
surveys conducted between 1970 and 2002. The file consisted of 105
trend questions asked at least five times in standard Eurobarometer
surveys. A total of 1,134,384 respondents from 15 European Union
member nations (initially, six European Community nations) plus Norway
in some years were interviewed in these surveys. The cumulative trend
questions concentrated on the respondents' knowledge and opinions of
the European Community (EC)/European Union (EU). Respondents were
asked for their opinion regarding European unification and whether or
not they were satisfied with the speed of regional integration.
Respondents were also asked to describe their sentiments with respect
to citizenship and whether they identified themselves more as a
citizen of their home country or as a citizen of Europe. The surveys
also asked questions regarding EC/EU institutions such as the European
Parliament (EP), the European Commission, the European Court of
Justice, and the European Central Bank, among others. Respondents were
asked whether they had heard about EC/EU institutions, the importance
of these institutions, and whether or not they believed these
institutions to be trustworthy. The surveys addressed several other
issues of economy, society, and polity including the overall state of
the economy in the EU and its individual member states, the
respondents' overall satisfaction with their lives, whether certain
policy decisions should be made at the EU or national level, the
importance of European Parliamentary elections, recent voting
behavior, voter intentions, party preferences, whether respondents
discussed political matters, whether they attempted to persuade others
close to them to share their views on subjects they held strong
opinions about, and how they viewed the need for societal change.
Respondents were asked how closely they followed various news and by
which media they received the news, how much they supported different
types of political and social movements, and what they believed was
the probability of strikes and world war in the next ten years.
Demographic and other background information collected included the
respondents' age, gender, and marital status, the number of people
residing in the household, the number of children under 15 in the
household, respondent's age at completion of education, left-right
political self-placement, occupation, religion, subjective social
class, political party affiliation, trade union membership, household

This round of Eurobarometer surveys queried respondents on
standard Eurobarometer measures, such as how satisfied they were with
their present life, whether they attempted to persuade others close to
them to share their views on subjects they held strong opinions about,
whether they discussed political matters, and how they viewed the need
for societal change. Additional questions focused on the respondents'
knowledge of and opinions about the European Union (EU), including how
well-informed they felt about the EU, what sources of information
about the EU they used, and whether their country had benefited from
being an EU member. In relation to politics, respondents were asked
whether the process of decision-making about select issues should be
done by their country alone, the EU or jointly, and whether the EU
should develop a constitution and common foreign, defense and security
policies. A major focus of the survey included the euro, EU
enlargement, radioactive waste, family planning, and Internet usage. A
battery of questions was posed to respondents regarding how
well-informed they were about the euro, whether replacing national
currencies with the euro was a good idea, how comfortable they felt
using the euro, and the future effects of the introduction of the
euro. Another set of questions sought respondents' opinions on EU
enlargement including which countries they favored become EU members
and associated criteria for membership, the future effects of
enlargement, how well-informed they were about EU enlargement and what
sources they sought to obtain information regarding this subject. For
the next topic, respondents were asked about how well- informed they
were about radioactive waste, what institutions they would trust in
their country or in other EU countries to provide information about
this subject, production of radioactive waste, waste disposal and the
costs for the construction of an underground disposal site, and their
knowledge and concerns regarding radioactive waste management in their
home countries, the EU, and in countries wishing to join the EU.
Family planning was also addressed by the surveys, as respondents were
queried about their ideal family size, the number of children they
had, how old they were when they had their first child, and how many
children they wanted to have. In addition, the survey asked
respondents whether they used the Internet, and if so, how often and
from what location. Other demographic and background information
provided includes age, gender, nationality, marital status, left-right
political self-placement, occupation, age when stopped full-time
education, household composition, household income, type and size of
locality, and region of residence.

This round of Eurobarometer surveys diverged from standard
questions instead it focused on the social exclusion and modernization
of pension systems in European Union countries. Respondents were asked
why people were socially excluded, what the role of government should
be in reducing the risk of poverty and social exclusion, how satisfied
they were with their lives, whether there were people in their
neighborhoods who lived in poverty, and what it meant to live properly.
They were also asked whether they had financial problems, and if so,
for how long and what had caused them. A number of questions focused on
problems related to work. Respondents were asked whether they had been
unemployed in the last five years and if so for how long. Those
employed or self-employed were asked questions concerning job
satisfaction, the type of organization for which they worked, the
number of hours worked, their job title, number of people employed at
their workplace, how long they had been continuously employed, and what
they took into consideration when choosing a job. They were also asked
whether their job was interesting and secure, whether they had to work
hard and under pressure, whether their employers paid for training or
education, whether they had friends at work, and whether they had
influence over the decision-making processes at their workplace and in
deciding how to do their tasks. They also compared different aspects of
their current job with what they had been doing five years ago,
described relations between management and employees, and commented on
how their work affected their health and their lives after work.
Another major focus of the surveys was the pension system. Those who
had already retired were asked at what age they had retired, what the
main source of their retirement income was, whether their current
financial situation was better than before retirement and what it would
look like in five to ten years, and whether the state pension allowed
them to get by easily. Non-pensioners supplied information about when
they intended to retire, what their main source of income would be
after retirement, what percentage of their current household's total
income after tax they considered sufficient in retirement, and how they
were saving for their retirement. Additionally, respondents were asked
what a good pension system should look like, how the pension should be
provided, what level of minimum guaranteed income should be provided
for elderly people, whether older workers should be forced to retire at
a fixed age, whether men and women should be treated equally in terms
of the retirement system, and how retirement problems caused by an
aging society should be resolved. Demographic and other background
information collected includes respondent's age, gender, nationality,
marital status, left-right political self-placement, occupation, age at
completion of education, trade union membership, household income, type
and size of locality, and region of residence.

This round of Eurobarometer surveys diverged from standard trend questions, instead focusing on information and communication technologies, financial services, and cultural activities. Respondents were questioned about how important it was to use a computer in their daily lives, whether and where they used a computer, for which uses a computer or the Internet was important, and which other communication products they used, such as cable TV and mobile phones. They were asked what type of computer training they had received, whether they worked remotely (telecommuted), whether communication technologies had been introduced at their workplace, if so, what the outcome had been, and how using a computer, e-mail, or the Internet had changed the way they worked. Respondents were further queried on financial services, governmental legislation of financial services, whether consumer protection standards should be harmonized within the European Union (EU), and what obstacles were preventing consumers from using financial services in the EU. They were asked about their preferred method of paying for significant purchases and the reasons for that preference, whether they used cards with a confidential code, and the types of financial accounts or loans they had. A final section focused on cultural activities and asked respondents which type of television programs they watched, whether they watched videos or DVDs, listened to the radio, or owned a computer, how often they used the Internet and for what purpose, how many books they had read in the past year, whether they read newspapers or magazines, and what types of music they listened to. They were asked to describe cultural activities they engaged in, types of media they had access to at home (such as a television set, records, CDs, video game player, books), and how many television sets, encyclopedias, and books they owned. Demographic and other background information provided includes respondent's age, gender, nationality, marital status, left-right political self-placement, occupation, age at completion of education, household income, region of residence, and subjective size of community.

This round of Eurobarometer surveys diverged from a focus on standard measures. During the fieldwork for Eurobarometer 55.1 (see EUROBAROMETER 55.1: GLOBALIZATION AND HUMANITARIAN AID, APRIL-MAY 2001 [ICPSR 3361]), an oversample of young respondents, aged 15-24, was added to the basic sample in order to obtain a total of at least 600 young respondents per country. An additional set of questions was administered to these young respondents eliciting responses on a number of topics, including the meaning and the importance of the European Union, areas in which the EU should be more or less active, sources of information about the EU, important aspects of society making participation of young people in society easier, suggestions for better integration of minorities into society, and opinions on foreigners living in the respondent's country. These young respondents were also asked about their leisure activities and organizations to which they belonged, their use of the Internet, use of computers and other electronic equipment (e.g., PC, CD, DVD, mobile phone), languages they spoke and would like to learn, countries they had visited in the last two years and reasons for the visits, employment considerations and money sources, and problems they would have if they wanted to study or work abroad. Respondents not underage were asked if they favored or were against a number of issues such as euthanasia, the death penalty, compulsory AIDS testing, premarital sex, cloning, etc. Demographic and other background information collected includes respondent's age, gender, nationality, marital status, left-right political self-placement, occupation, age at completion of education, household income, region of residence, and type and size of community.

Additional questions focused on respondents' knowledge of and opinions on the European Union (EU), including how well informed they felt about the EU, what sources of information about the EU they used, and whether their country had benefited from being an EU member. Another major focus of the surveys was globalization. Respondents were asked about the effects of globalization and trade liberalization, whether the EU was in favor of international free trade, and which institution should take the effects of globalization under control. Those polled presented their knowledge of the World Trade Organization, gave their opinions about who was the largest exporter of products and services in the world, specified the aspects of trade negotiations that should be considered by the EU, and commented on whether it was good that the EU negotiated international trade issues on behalf of all EU member states. Humanitarian aid was another major topic of the surveys. Respondents were queried as to which institutions funding humanitarian aid they knew about, how well informed they felt about the Humanitarian Aid Office (ECHO), which sources of information about ECHO they used, whether European citizens should be informed about aid activities funded by the EU, and, if so, what sorts of information should be available. Questions were also posed regarding whether it was important to fund humanitarian aid activities outside the EU, whether humanitarian aid was more effective when provided by each government separately or by the EU collectively, and whether the EU should increase its spending on humanitarian aid activities. Those polled were also asked about the single European currency, effects of the EU enlargement, common EU foreign policy and defense and security policy, whether the EU should have a constitution, what languages they spoke, and how often they watched news on TV, read news in papers, and listened to news on the radio. Demographic and other background information provided includes respondent's age, gender, nationality, marital status, left-right political self-placement, occupation, age at completion of education, household income, region of residence, and

This round of Eurobarometer surveys, which diverged from the standard topics, focused on respondents' views regarding the enlargement of the European Union, public discussions on the future of Europe (Dialogue on Europe), and the single European currency, the euro. Given a list of 21 European countries that were not European Union (EU) members plus Morocco, respondents were asked which countries they had heard of, which they had visited or planned to visit, which they had ties to, which they thought had been accepted as candidates to join the European Union, which should be the first to join, which should not join, and which countries they wanted to know more about in terms of various topical areas. Those polled were asked a number of questions about the planned EU enlargement, such as how many countries should be allowed to join, which member countries would benefit most from enlargement, whether enlargement would benefit
respondents' personal lives, how they rated the development of the European Union, their level of satisfaction with the speed of enlargement, and which criteria should govern whether applicants were admitted to the EU. Opinions were elicited on a number of possible effects of enlargement, some possible negative effects of participation in the EU in general, whether enlargement would cause an increase in immigration from Eastern and Central Europe, and whether respondents viewed increased immigration as positive or negative. Further questions focused on the euro. Respondents were asked how well informed they felt about the euro, what their sources of information were, which countries had decided to adopt the euro as their national currency, when coins and notes in euros would be introduced in their countries, when it would be possible to pay in euros by check or card, and when it would no longer be possible to pay in the respondents' national currencies. Those surveyed were also asked to give their views on the possible effects of the introduction of the euro, how smoothly the transition from national currencies to the euro would be, when they would start paying in euros, and whether the introduction of
the euro would have generally positive or negative consequences. A final set of items focused on the Dialogue on Europe, a series of public discussions and debates instituted to encourage citizens to express their views on the future of Europe. Respondents stated whether they would find participation in this program interesting, which topics should be included, whether they would be interested in actually participating in the discussions, and, if so, which day and time would be most convenient. They were also asked what would motivate them to participate in the public discussions, their preferred mode of participation, who should initiate the discussions, their preferred sources of information about European issues, and their level of interest in the contents of their national constitution and the treaties of the EU. Background information on respondents includes political preference, marital/relationship status, education level, gender, age, occupation, area of residence, age at completion of education, subjective size of community, nationality, and income.

their current region of residence or move to another region if they were unemployed, to what extent moving to a different geographical location in the next five years would improve their job prospects, if they would be willing to live in another EU country with a different language, how they felt about the number of foreigners in their country, and whether better career prospects, financial circumstances, social benefits, public services, or social life would encourage them to move. On the subject of the disabled, respondents were asked if they personally knew anyone (including a family member, friend, acquaintance, neighbor, colleague, client, pupil/student, or other) with a disability or infirmity that limited their activities, how at ease they felt in the presence of people with disabilities, and how at ease people in general felt in the presence of people with disabilities. They were asked how difficult they thought it was for certain groups of people with disabilities (i.e., blind, deaf, physically and intellectually disabled people) to access public transport and services, restaurants, university or school, their work place, sports events, and cultural events, whether access to public places for people with disabilities had improved over the last ten years, who was actually responsible for making improvements in these matters (e.g., local authorities, national government, nongovernmental organizations, the EU, etc.), and who should be responsible. They were asked to indicate how aware they were of each of 21 types of disabilities (e.g., visual, hearing, neuromuscular, skeletal, arthritis, cancer, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and others), what percent of the population in their country had a physical disability, how strongly they agreed that disabled persons should be more involved in society, that more money should be spent on removing physical barriers, and that children with disabilities should be taught in the same schools as other children, and whether they would feel at ease with a person in a wheelchair as their boss, next-door neighbor, colleague, a politician, an artist, a teacher, or a shop worker. Standard demographic information collected includes age, sex, occupation, nationality, marital status, vote intention, age at completion of full-time education, number of people in household, number of children under 15 in household, household income, size of locality, region of residence, religiousity, and language of interview (for select countries).

This round of Eurobarometer surveys, which diverged from the standard Eurobarometer topics, queried respondents on foreign languages. Respondents were asked what languages they spoke and on what level, how they learned or improved in those languages, and how often and for what reasons they used foreign languages. The survey also collected information on motivations for learning other
languages, reasons discouraging the learning of other languages, methods of learning foreign languages and their effectiveness, and the availability of language courses in respondents' living areas. Those polled were also asked whether knowing foreign languages was useful, what languages were the most useful to know, where they would look for information about opportunities to learn languages, and whether they preferred to watch foreign movies/programs with subtitles rather than with dubbing. Additional questions sought respondents' opinions on the necessity to speak European Union (EU) languages, reasons why children should learn other European languages at school, and the influence of the EU enlargement on communication among the EU member countries. Standard demographic information collected includes age, gender, occupation, age at completion of education, and size of locality.

This round of Eurobarometer surveys diverged from the standard Eurobarometer measures and queried respondents on the euro (the single European currency), financial services, and information communication technologies. Respondents were asked how informed and how interested they were in the euro, whether the euro's value had been irrevocably fixed against their national currencies, when the general public would be able to make cash-free payments in euros, and when it would no longer be possible to pay in national currencies. They were also asked whether they had already made payments or investments in euros and when they would change their bank accounts to be in euros only. A few questions asked about the euro logo, dual product pricing (prices listed in euros and in national currencies), whether respondents noticed dual prices in stores and, if so, which price they paid attention to, what certain items (e.g., cigarettes,
eggs, shoes) would cost in euros, possible difficulties the changeover to the euro would cause for them and for the general public, and if they were worried about certain aspects of the changeover, such as coin and note recognition, being cheated, and making price comparisons. Questions regarding financial services probed for respondents' opinions on various financial institution functions, legislation surrounding financial services, consumer obstacles to using financial services in the European Union (EU), and the necessity of protecting consumers in the use of new technologies connected with financial services. The survey also collected information on respondents' payment preferences for major purchases, payments by telephone, computer, Internet, etc., savings accounts and loans, whether respondents had a checkbook, credit card, mortgage, or overdraft facility on a current account, and whether they were ready to use a pre-paid card to pay for minor purchases. Another set of questions, which focused on information communication technologies, asked whether respondents used a computer, e-mail, or the Internet, and if so, for what purpose, where, and if this changed the way they worked. Computer users were also asked where and why they learned how to use computers, what they used computers for, and what computer training qualifications they had. Currently employed respondents were asked about computer training for their jobs, how important it was to use a computer in their work, if they "teleworked" (i.e., worked away from their normal work place), and if so, in what ways telework
affected them personally. Standard demographic information collected includes age, gender, occupation, age at completion of education, number of people in household, number of children under 15 in household, household income, size of locality, and region of residence.

est, specifically mobile and fixed telephone
services, electric, gas, and water supply services, postal services,
transport services within towns/cities, and rail services between
towns/cities, probed for respondent opinion on ease of access, price
and contract fairness, quality of service, and clearness of
service-provided information. For each service, respondents were asked
whether in the last 12 months they had personally made a complaint
about the service to any complaint-handling body and how they felt the
situation was handled. Another section of the surveys queried
respondents on how often they read food labels, if they thought there
was too much or too little information on food labels, if they trusted
and understood food labels, whether potential harm or benefit
information should appear on the labels, who should be responsible for
the information, and if food labels affected their inclination to
purchase food products. A number of questions gauged respondent
sentiment on genetically modified organisms in food by asking what, if
any, information should be shown on labels, how clear, comprehensive,
and reliable the information should be, and if the respondent would be
more inclined to buy food products labeled as having no genetically
modified organisms or less inclined to buy food products labeled as
having genetically modified organisms. Questions about technology
asked if respondents currently had at home a satellite dish, cable TV,
a digital TV, a DVD player, a game console, a computer, a computer
with a CD-ROM, an Internet connection, a fax without a computer, a
mobile phone, or an ISDN line. They were asked which of these they
used personally, which they were interested in but didn't use, which
they planned to buy in the next six months, and, for those without an
ISDN line, the reasons why. Those using the Internet were given a list
of Internet activities and asked to identify which they had engaged in
in the last three months, and if they had reduced time spent on
non-Internet activities such as watching TV, reading, listening to the
radio, interacting with family and friends, or playing sports.
Internet users were also asked where else they had access, how
satisfied they were with the speed of their Internet connection, if
they had considered a faster Internet connection, if they felt a
faster connection was affordable, which Internet services they would
be interested in using, and for which of those services they would be
willing to pay. Standard demographic information collected on
respondents included left-right political self-placement, party they
would vote for if an election were held tomorrow, marital status, age
at completion of education, current age, sex, number of people in
household, number of children in household, current occupation,
previous occupation, household income, size of locality, region of residence, availability of telephone in household, and language of interview (select countries).

ernet, personal computers, or mobile phones were positive or negative in terms of their quality of life, if the government should spend more to ensure everyone access to these new technologies, and if respondents had participated in training activities related to these new technologies. Several questions about the poor and the socially excluded asked if respondents had given money, goods, or their time to help these groups and if, in their opinion, housing authorities, employment services, social services, religious institutions, charities, businesses, trade unions, their family, the European Union, or the poor themselves currently provided the most help. Another series of questions asked respondents about the EC symbol -- its meaning, who put it on products, on which items they had seen the symbol, and how often they took the symbol into account when they bought products. They were asked how well informed they felt as consumers, in what form they would like to get information on their rights as a consumer (i.e., an outline, a detailed booklet, a complete description, a videotape, etc.), if they had ever had to complain about a purchase, whom they complained to or would complain to, and whether they complained or would complain in person, by phone, in writing, by e-mail, or in some other fashion. They were asked if they had heard of bodies such as arbitrators, counselors, ombudsmen, etc., that deal with consumer disputes and if they would be willing to bring their problem before one of these agents or if they had fears about them. Further questions queried respondents about whether in the last five years they had had a problem that they could not get resolved, what type of product or service was involved, and what they did when they could not resolve the problem. They were questioned as to the minimum amount it would take to bring the problem to court, why they would not bring it to court for less, whether they had insurance that would cover the legal costs, if they would be more likely to go to court if they joined other consumers with the same problem, what would most encourage them to defend their rights in court, in whom they had the most confidence to defend consumers in court, how much confidence they had in the courts to settle disputes, and who could best protect consumer interests. Similar questions were asked concerning products bought abroad -- the amount it would take to bring the dispute to court, if they had ever had a problem with a product or service bought abroad, if they did anything about the problem, how satisfied they were with the results, and if it would be useful to have one form that could be used throughout the European Union to complain about a product or service problem. Information was also collected on whether anyone in the household owned a color TV, a video recorder, a video camera, a clock radio, a home computer, a still camera, an electric drill, an electric deep-fat fryer, two or more cars, or a second or holiday home. Standard demographic information collected included age, sex, nationality, left-right political self-placement, marital status, age at completion of education, number of people in household, number of children in household, current occupation, previous occupation, religiosity, household income, type of residence, size of locality,region of residence, and nationality.

This round of Eurobarometer surveys queried respondents on standard Eurobarometer measures, such as how satisfied they were with their present life, whether they attempted to persuade others close to them to share their views on subjects they held strong opinions about, whether they discussed political matters, how important the role of the European Union (EU) will be in their daily life over the next five years, and how they viewed the need for societal change. Additional questions focused on the respondents' knowledge of and opinions on the EU, including how well-informed they felt about the EU, what sources of information about the EU they used, whether their country had benefited from being an EU member, and the extent of their personal interest in EU matters. Other major areas of focus in the surveys included European Parliament elections, the single European currency (the euro), and respondents' experiences with financial services. Respondents were asked which television news programs they watched, which newspaper(s) they read, and how much attention they gave to politics, social issues, the European Union, the economy, sports, the environment, foreign policy, and culture. They were also asked whether they voted in the most recent European Parliament elections, what their reasons were for voting or not voting, and how they viewed the importance and power of the European Parliament in the European Union. A number of questions probed for respondents' knowledge and use
of the euro, whether they worried about changing to the euro, and what they thought about the timing of the change to the euro and about legislation surrounding the euro. Another set of questions queried respondents about financial services and obstacles to using those services, means of payment for important purchases, bank accounts, post office accounts, loans, and mortgages. Standard demographic information was collected on left-right political self-placement, marital status, age at completion of education, current age, sex,
number of people in the household, number of children in the household, current occupation, previous occupation, household income,size of locality, and region of residence.

This round of Eurobarometer surveys queried respondents on standard Eurobarometer measures such as public awareness of and attitudes toward the European Union (EU), and also focused on environmental issues and consumer associations. In terms of environmental issues, respondents were questioned regarding whether environmental protection and the fight against pollution were immediate and urgent problems or problems for the future. Those queried were asked about the degree of concern they had for issues such as the disappearance of certain types of plants and the tropical forests, depletion of natural resources, global warming, pollution, destruction of the ozone layer, urban problems, nuclear power stations and radioactive waste, and genetically modified organisms. Respondents identified the area where they lived and commented on whether they had reason to complain about the quality of tap water, noise, air pollution, waste disposal, lack of green spaces, landscape damage, traffic problems, quality of food products, and the organization of civil defense in the face of natural and technological disasters. Other questions covered the respondents' general awareness of some environmental issues, the sources they used when looking for information on the environment, which sources they would trust, and whether public bodies were acting effectively to protect the environment at the local, regional, and national levels. This survey also addressed consumer associations in detail. Questions were asked concerning what respondents thought should be a priority for consumer associations, problems facing consumer associations, and whether they were members of any consumer associations. Opinions were also elicited regarding whether consumer associations should distribute information, provide legal advice, publish magazines, lobby the government, or represent consumers' interests. Other questions included how consumer associations should be funded, whether the respondent would pay for the information provided by consumer associations, and how much they would pay. Demographic and other background information provided includes respondent's age, gender, education, and marital status, as well as household income, number of people residing in the home, occupation, religion, and region of residence.

This round of Eurobarometer surveys queried respondents on
standard Eurobarometer measures, such as whether they attempted to
persuade others close to them to share their views on subjects they
held strong opinions about, whether they discussed political matters,
and what the goals of the European Union (EU) should be. Additional
questions focused on the respondents' knowledge of and opinions on the
EU, including how well-informed they felt about the EU, what sources
of information about the EU they used, and whether their country had
benefited from being an EU member. Another major focus of the surveys
was elderly people and domestic violence. Respondents were asked
whether retired people should be permitted to take paid employment and
whether the government should introduce laws to try to stop age
discrimination. Respondents were also queried as to whether they had
extra family responsibilities involving looking after someone with a
long-term illness or someone who was handicapped or elderly, and who
respondents thought was in the best position to decide on the most
appropriate services for elderly people needing long-term aid. The
survey also explored violence against children and young people under
age 18 as well as against women. Those queried were asked if they had
heard of violence against women and children and what they believed
constituted domestic violence against women and children. Given a
situation in which a woman or child was a victim of violence,
respondents were asked who might be the most likely perpetrator and
what might be a general cause of violence against women and children.
Respondents also commented on whether certain institutions and
organizations should help victimized women and children, and ways that
violence against women and children can be combatted. Demographic and
other background information provided includes the respondent's age,
gender, marital status, and left-right political self-placement, as
well as household income, number of people residing in the home,
occupation, religion, and region of residence.

The IEA Civic Education Study (known as CIVED) is an
international assessment of the civic knowledge and skills of
14-year-olds (8th and 9th graders) in 28 countries. Data were
collected in 1999 under the auspices of the International Association
for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA) headquartered in
Amsterdam. Begun in 1958, IEA is a consortium of educational and
social science research institutes in more than 50 countries. The
IEA's International Steering Committee (University of Maryland,
College Park) and an international Technical Advisory Group guided the
research. The International Coordinating Center (Humboldt University
of Berlin) coordinated the day-to-day operations and the IEA Data
Processing Center (Hamburg, Germany) processed the data. The Study's
National Research Coordinators developed an octagon model that guided
the two phases of the study, the first phase a more qualitative set of
case studies in 24 countries and the second phase a test and survey of
students in 29 countries. This model gave special attention to
macrosystem elements such as the country's history of democracy,
transnational position, economy, and media. It also delineated ways in
which civic education goals are carried into practice, especially the
role of the formal community, informal community, school, peer group,
and family. Publications from the study have addressed each of these
theories and approaches and have been authored by educational
researchers, civic education specialists, comparative scholars,
political scientists, and psychologists. The following countries took
part: Australia, Belgium (French-speaking), Bulgaria, Chile, Colombia,
Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, England, Estonia, Finland, Germany,
Greece, Hong Kong (SAR), Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway,
Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russian Federation, Slovak Republic,
Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United States. The sizes of the
nationally-representative samples ranged from 2,076 students tested in
Belgium (French-speaking) to 5,688 students tested in Chile. Civic
achievement was measured by a total civic knowledge scale composed of
two subscales: civic content and skills. Civic content refers to
knowledge of civic concepts such as the characteristics of
democracies, and civic skills refer to the interpretative skills
needed to understand civic-related communication (e.g., to make sense
of a political cartoon or an election leaflet). In addition, survey
items measured students' concepts of democracy, citizenship, and
government, attitudes toward civic issues such as immigrants' or
women's rights, trust in governmental institutions, and several types
of expected political and community participation. Students also
answered questions pertaining to their background characteristics,
their organizational participation, and the climate of their school
and classroom. Item responses gathered from approximately 95,000
students in total and 22 scale scores developed with confirmatory
factor analysis and item response theory are included on the file.
Questionnaires also solicited background information from school
principals and teachers.

The Mannheim Eurobarometer Trend File, created through
cooperation of the Mannheimer Zentrum fur Europaische Sozialforschung
(MZES) and the Zentrum fur Umfragen, Methoden und Analysen (ZUMA),
combines the most important trend questions of the Eurobarometer
surveys conducted between 1970 and 1999. The file consists of 100
trend questions asked at least five times in standard Eurobarometer
surveys. A total of 877,223 respondents from 15 European Union member
nations (initially, six European Community nations) plus Norway in
some years were interviewed in these surveys. The cumulative trend
questions concentrated on European Community (EC)/European Union (EU)
issues and other sociopolitical issues, as well as electoral
behavior. The major focus of the surveys was respondents' knowledge of
and opinions on the EU/EC, including how well-informed they felt about
the EC/EU, whether their country had benefited from being an EC/EU
member, and the extent of their personal interest in EC/EU matters. A
number of questions concentrated on the European Parliament, the
European Commission, and the Single European Market. Respondents were
asked whether they heard about those institutions, what impression
they had of the European Commission, what importance the Single
European Market had, what role the European Parliament had, and how
important the European Parliament elections were. They were also asked
whether they were for or against European unification, whether the
speed of European integration was appropriate, and whether they were
satisfied with democracy in the EC/EU. Respondents determined policy
areas in which decisions should be made separately by national
governments and jointly within the EC/EU as a whole. Those polled were
asked how satisfied they were with their lives, whether they attempted
to persuade others close to them to share their views on subjects they
held strong opinions about, whether they discussed political matters,
and how they viewed the need for societal change. The surveys queried
respondents about the general economic situation in their countries,
how often they watched news on TV, read news in papers, and listened
to news on the radio, their interest in politics and support for
different types of political and social movements, and the probability
of strikes and world war in the next ten years. A number of questions
concentrated on respondents' voting behavior, including their
intention to vote in EP elections and the party they voted for in the
national elections. Demographic and other background information

This round of Eurobarometer surveys queried respondents on
standard Eurobarometer measures such as public awareness of and
attitudes toward the European Union (EU), and also focused on
information society services, food quality, the family, and aid to
developing countries. Those surveyed were asked if they used
"information society" items such as satellite dishes, video recorders,
computers, fax machines, fax modems, portable telephones, the
Internet, pagers, and cable television, either at home for leisure or
at work, and if they planned on purchasing such items. In addition,
respondents were given several examples of services accessible through
communication networks such as the Internet and television and asked
if they would be interested in using these services. Examples included
taking part in political debates with a politician, getting a doctor's
advice on a health problem, planning a complete trip, reading
newspapers, conducting job searches, and managing bank accounts. Food
quality questions in this survey asked respondents how often their
households purchased food items such as cheese, cooked meat, fruit,
vegetables, honey, meat or poultry, pre-cooked meals, and beer. They
were asked which was most important to take into account when buying
the aforementioned products: the brand label, the quality label, the
look of the product, the type of outlet where it was purchased, date
stamps, or the product's traditional character. Respondents also
defined their ideal for a quality food product. Other questions on
this topic probed for respondent opinions on various product labels
such as "designation of origin," "protected designation of origin,"
and "protected geographical indication" labels. Respondents were asked
if they had ever seen or heard of any of these labels, where they had
seen them, and what the labels meant to them. The survey also
addressed the topic of the family in detail. Respondents were asked to
list factors that influenced the number of children that people might
wish to have, and to comment on the main roles of family in society
and whether they were in favor of or against marriage and why. Those
queried were also asked what the government's top priority should be
in order to improve family life. In addition, respondents were asked
whether marriage or having children changed their lives at all, and
which areas, such as child care, health care, education, and the
environment, should be taken care of by the government, by private
companies, or by associations. Another topic in the survey addressed
aid to developing countries. Respondents answered questions on whether
it was important to help the people in poor countries and which nation
was in the best position to aid poor countries. They were asked if
this aid should increase or decrease and whether development aid
provided by the European Community contributed to solving problems
such as drugs, overpopulation, immigration, environment and pollution,
and trade development. Respondents in Italy were asked to rate Italy's
economic efficiency, and to comment on Italy's commitment to the
European Union, the reliability of Italy in business, and the main
political and economic obstacles for Italy in taking a stronger role
in the European Union. Demographic and other background information
provided includes respondents' age, sex, nationality, marital status,
and left-right political self-placement, as well as household income,
number of people residing in the home, occupation, size of locality,
and region of residence.

This round of Eurobarometer surveys queried respondents on
standard Eurobarometer measures such as public awareness of and
attitudes toward the European Union (EU), and also focused on the
European Parliament and radioactive waste. Respondents were asked to
rate the importance of the role of the European Parliament in the
European Union and to indicate whether they voted in the June 1994
European Parliament elections and if they intended to vote in the June
1999 European Parliament elections. They were also queried about which
policy areas, e.g., the environment, currency, employment, education,
and immigration, the European Parliament should pay particular
attention to in order to protect their personal interests. Another
topic in the survey covered radioactive waste. Respondents were asked
for their opinions on which European nation produced the greatest
amount of radioactive waste and how worried they were about the
radioactive waste problem. They also answered questions regarding
underground projects for waste storage and indicated whether they were
in favor of storing radioactive waste from another European Union
country. Other questions on radioactive waste focused on waste
management, waste processing, and safety issues. Demographic and other
background information includes respondents' age, sex, marital status,
and left-right political self-placement, as well as household income,
number of people residing in the home, occupation, religion, and
region of residence.

This round of Eurobarometer surveys queried respondents on
standard Eurobarometer measures such as public awareness of and
attitudes toward the European Union (EU), and also focused on the
safety of food products, sex tourism with children (people away on a
holiday or business trip having sex with children), health care
issues, and cancer awareness. Respondents were queried about food
product safety issues, including which foods were considered safe,
under which types of controls a food product was considered safe, the
necessity for more frequent and stricter controls, factors that
determined the safety of a food product, where the safest food
products could be purchased, who told the truth about the safety of
food products, reasons for using or not using label information, the
type of information read and used, whether the respondent followed
food use and storage instructions, and the types of information that
should be on food product labels. Other topics covered in this survey
included health care and cancer. Respondents reported on their general
state of health, and whether they had recently visited a doctor or had
been treated in a hospital. They provided information on their level
of satisfaction with the health care system in their country, their
opinions on health care options and treatments, how spending for
health care should be financed, and their reactions to several
examples about the use of health care resources. Questions on cancer
focused on respondents' understanding of possible symptoms, their
opinions on the prevention of cancer, and the importance of national
screening programs for breast cancer. Women and men were asked
separate sets of questions about breast cancer and prostate
cancer. This survey also asked respondents about "child sex tourism,"
including awareness of and willingness to discuss sex tourism
involving children, and opinions regarding how common this problem is,
where it takes place, the kind of people who take part in it, the
reasons why people would take part, and the moral and legal
acceptability of child sex tourism. Demographic and other background
information provided includes respondent's age, sex, marital status,
occupation, left-right political self-placement and vote intention, as
well as household income, the number of people residing in the home,
and region of residence.

This round of Eurobarometer surveys queried respondents on
standard Eurobarometer measures, such as how satisfied they were with
their present life, whether they attempted to persuade others close to
them to share their views on subjects they held strong opinions about,
whether they discussed political matters, and how they viewed the need
for societal change. Additional questions focused on the respondents'
knowledge of and opinions on the European Union (EU), including how
well-informed they felt about the EU, what sources of information
about the EU they used, and whether their country had benefited from
being an EU member. The surveys also questioned respondents on the
common European currency, whether certain policy decisions (e.g.,
defense, environmental protection, currency, health and social
welfare, education, etc.) should be made at the national or EU level,
what criteria were important for deciding whether a new country should
join the EU, how the enlargement of the EU would affect the current
members countries, the EU Common Agricultural Policy, the Treaty of
Amsterdam, the Basque Country, their thoughts about the 21st century,
and their feelings toward people of other nationalities, races, and
religions. A set of questions also asked about respondents' attitudes
toward the European Parliament, how this organization defended their
interests, and whether they planned to vote in the next elections to
the Parliament scheduled in June of 1999. A major focus of the surveys
was issues surrounding vacations and holiday travel. Respondents were
asked whether they had taken a trip in 1997 and, if not, the reason
they did not travel, whether they had ever been on a holiday and, if
so, when they went on their first holiday and for what duration, what
subsequent vacations they took, which countries and locales they
visited, who accompanied them, and how they traveled to their
destinations. Other questions focused on where respondents stayed
during their holiday, what criteria they used to select a holiday
destination, how much they would spend in the current year for their
holiday, what type of payment (e.g., checks, credit card) they used,
what types of local products they purchased, what kinds of places they
visited, and what kinds of events they attended. They were asked who
arranged their holiday, how they obtained information and how they
rated tourist information in general, if they sought out tourist
information before or while on vacation, and how satisfied they were
if they had already taken a vacation during the year. They also
indicated whether they planned to travel in the following year and, if
so, specified their intended destination. Demographic characteristics
collected include nationality, left-right political self-placement,
gender, age, occupation, marital status, age at completion of
education, number of people in household, family income, size of
locality, region, and whether a telephone was available in the
household. Selected standard Eurobarometer constructed variables and
indices are also included. For a comparable survey from this series,

This round of Eurobarometer surveys queried respondents on
standard Eurobarometer measures, such as whether they attempted to
persuade others close to them to share their views on subjects they
held strong opinions about and whether they discussed political
matters. Additional questions focused on the respondents' knowledge of
and opinions on the European Union (EU), including what sources of
information about the EU they used and whether their country had
benefited from being an EU member. This study also focused on women
and cancer, the role of the European Parliament, and expectations of
the EU. All female respondents were asked if they thought they could
ever have breast or cervical cancer, and if they knew anybody who
currently had cancer, had had it, or had died from it. Female
respondents also indicated the types of examinations they had had,
their confidence in preventive examinations including whether or not
cancer prevention is possible, and whether they thought manual breast
examinations, mammographies, gynecological examinations, and cervical
smear tests could detect cancer. Female respondents also commented on
their knowledge of national screening programs, their willingness to
participate in such programs, and which aspects of cancer they would
like to be better informed about. Items concerning the European
Parliament asked all respondents about its current importance within
the EU, policy areas to which it should pay particular attention, and
whether it protected citizen's interests. Other queries focused on
fears and expectations regarding the EU. Respondents were asked if
they feared loss of power for smaller member states, increased drug
trafficking, language acculturation, loss of national identity,
transfer of jobs, more taxes, or other countries joining the
EU. Respondents indicated whether the EU should become more active in
areas of peace, agriculture, fishing, immigration, environmental
protection, consumerism, research efforts, unemployment, crime
prevention, European law, gender equality, and protection from
non-European competition. With respect to building Europe, opinions
were sought on the necessity of policies such as a single internal
market, a common agricultural policy, a European social policy, one
foreign policy, one army, one currency, one tax system, and an elected
European government. Demographic and other background information
provided includes respondent's age, sex, marital status, and
left-right political self-placement as well as household income, the
number of people residing in the home, and region of residence.
Respondents aged 15-24 years were also surveyed on a variety of
additional topics including the EU, elderly people, family planning,
religion, foreigners, employment, activities, and organization
memberships. The data regarding this topic are reported in

This round of Eurobarometer surveys queried respondents on
standard Eurobarometer measures such as public awareness of and
attitudes toward the European Union (EU), and also focused on
Switzerland's image, racism, education throughout life, and patterns
of family planning and work status. Respondents were asked if the
Swiss federal system and the Swiss direct democracy system should be
considered as models for other countries. Respondents were also asked
whether Switzerland was a good example of a multicultural society,
whether it was a conservative country in urgent need of reforms,
whether it participated enough in efforts aimed at solving economic,
social, and political problems, and whether it had a strong tradition
of humanitarian aid. Opinions were sought on Swiss banking practices,
including the role of the Swiss in business, accountability for
foreign investors, and repayment to World War II victims. A series of
questions pertaining to minority groups of different races, religions,
and cultures was asked. Items included perceptions of the presence or
number of minorities in the country, workplace, and neighborhood of
the respondent, as well as the impact of such groups on societal
values, the economy, job markets, education, Social Security, and
sports. Also probed were respondents' views on rights for legal and
illegal immigrants (noncitizens), including freedom of speech,
housing, education, protection against discrimination, and
circumstances for deportation. A few questions covered the "European
Year against Racism" (1997) campaign and the role European
institutions play or should adopt in the fight against
racism. Respondents were also asked to rate their own degree of racism
and to name groups they or their country found disturbing. If a group
was named, respondents were asked if they could imagine having a close
relationship with or working for someone from this group, and if it
would be difficult to accept their child marrying into this group and
having children with someone from this group. Information was also
gathered on education and training throughout life. Respondents
indicated reasons for or against lifelong training, the necessity of
such training in light of evolving information and communication
technologies, the impact of continuing training on their own private
and work lives, and preferred types of training courses. Other queries
concerned family planning and work situations. Respondents listed the
number of children they had and indicated whether they were working
part-time, full-time, or not at all. In addition, respondents
specified the age at which women should have their first child and
their last child, and commented on the ideal work situation while
rearing children. Respondents also described preferred arrangements
for taking care of elderly parents, including who should be
responsible for payment. Demographic and other background information
provided includes respondent's age, sex, marital status, and
left-right political self-placement as well as household income, the
number of people residing in the home, and region of residence.

This round of Eurobarometer surveys queried respondents on
standard Eurobarometer measures such as public awareness of and
attitudes toward the European Union (EU), and also focused on
Germany's image, consumer issues, electronic information services, and
the purchase of fair trade products. Respondents were asked about
their interest in Germany, the sources used to obtain information
about Germany, and their opinion of German Chancellor Helmut Kohl with
respect to his ability to further European integration. Respondents
were also asked a series of questions relating to consumerism, with an
emphasis on the quality of products sold, product safety, consumer
protection, consumer legislation, consumer education, and product
information. Also covered were prices, financial services, and the
transition to the single European currency, the euro. Opinions were
elicited on the quality of public services that have been or may be
opened to competition, including water, gas, electricity, telephones,
rubbish collection, hospitals, courts, mail, motorways, buses,
railways, trams, subways, and air travel. A few questions probed for
views on environmental issues such as the leading causes of
environmental damage and proposed solutions. Other questions focused
on respondent knowledge of and purchase of fair trade
products. Respondents were asked how many bananas they bought, where
and from whom they bought them, and whether they would pay more for
bananas if they were produced according to fair trade
conditions. Questions about electronic information concerned access to
and interest in technologies such as satellite dishes, television
decoders, teletext, minitel or videotext, video recorders, computers,
CD-ROMs, fax, portable telephones, the Internet, pagers, and cable
television. Demographic and other background information provided
includes respondent's age, sex, marital status, and left-right
political self-placement, as well as household income, number of
people residing in the home, and region of residence.

The Central and Eastern Eurobarometer (CEEB) survey series
was carried out on behalf of the European Commission (DG X) between
1990 and 1997 under the direction of Karlheinz Reif (until 1995) and
George Cunningham. Administered once per year, the CEEB surveys
monitored economic and political change and attitudes toward Europe
and the European Union in countries of the region, including Albania,
Armenia, Belarus, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czechoslovakia/Czech Republic,
Estonia, GDR/Eastern Germany, Georgia, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Latvia,
Lithuania, Macedonia/FYROM, Moldova, Poland, Romania, European
Russia/Russian Federation, Slovakia, Slovenia, Ukraine, and
Yugoslavia. This data collection was compiled from the original eight
CEEB surveys and consists of 280 selected trend variables (including
some demographic and technical variables) representing 49 trend
questions. Trend variables were chosen through an iterative selection
process that started with the European Commission's definition of
"Trend" questions and included variables that already had been asked
in the past surveys at least three times (years) in identical or
similar wording. Harmonization of some of these variables was
necessary. The general scope of the information gathered pertained to
attitudes toward the European Commission, current political and
economic questions of the country, and evaluation of democratic and
economic reforms. Specific topics included judgment on the general
political and economic development of the country, expected
development of the economic situation, judgment on one's own financial
situation, attitude to the market economy, frequency of political
discussions, judgment on economic reforms, satisfaction with
democracy, human rights, feeling like a European, attitude to European
unification, most important source of information about the EC, EU
membership, desired point in time for the country to join the EC, NATO
membership, benefits of EU relationship, and left-right self
placement. Background variables include age, education level,
occupation, right to vote, voting intention, party voted for, size of
household, income, national background, native language, region, and
size of community.

This round of Eurobarometer surveys queried respondents on
standard Eurobarometer measures such as public awareness of and
attitudes toward the European Union (EU), and also focused on modern
biotechnology, the common European currency, and privacy on computer
networks. With respect to modern biotechnology issues, respondents
were asked for their opinions regarding which organizations should
regulate modern biotechnology, and the likelihood that in the next 20
years biotechnology would lead to events such as reducing
environmental pollution and world hunger, creating dangerous new
diseases, solving more crimes through genetic fingerprinting, curing
genetic diseases, and producing designer babies. Computer network
privacy issues covered respondents' worries about leaving "electronic
tracks" of personal identifying information when using computer
network services and concerns about the use of information collected
from network services for advertising, or by shops, insurance
companies, or public bodies. Other data protection questions probed
for respondents' willingness to use new communication technologies and
electronic services considering that someone else might use their
personal information, awareness and concern about using a means of
payment on networks that might leave tracks, awareness of laws that
protect privacy, the importance of the EU trying to protect personal
information, and the importance of worldwide privacy of personal
information. Also covered were respondent interest in on-screen
computer or television network technologies and in the capabilities
these technologies provide, such as getting a medical opinion on a
health issue, an on-line guided tour of a museum, receiving instant
access to newspapers, taking part in a training program, making it
easier to look for a job, taking part in discussion groups, receiving
and sending electronic mail, managing bank and financial accounts, and
organizing a trip. Common European currency items included whether
respondents were for or against one European currency in all member
states and why, how well-informed they felt about the common European
currency, their knowledge of the conditions member countries must meet
in order to join the European Economic and Monetary Union, when notes
and coins in the European currency would be introduced, their own
country's ability to take part in the Single European Currency in
1999, the consequences for not participating, and what the rate of
introduction should be for the common European currency. Questions
asked only in Sweden concerned attitudes toward expanding or reducing
nuclear power, the respondent's three favorite activities, and highest
level of education completed. Demographic items include age, gender,
marital status, household size, monthly income, age when stopped
full-time education, and occupation.

This round of Eurobarometer surveys queried respondents on
standard Eurobarometer measures such as public awareness of and
attitudes toward the European Union (EU), and also focused on personal
health issues, the Common European Currency, energy questions,
development aid, and the rights of EU citizens. Respondents were asked
if they thought exposure to the sun was good or bad for their health,
how best to protect themselves from the sun, what type of skin, eye,
and hair color they had, and what information they had received about
the "Europe Against Cancer" campaign. In regard to the Common European
Currency, they provided their attitudes toward having one currency for
all member states, and commented on how well-informed they were about
this issue, if they knew about the conditions that member countries
must meet in order to join the European Economic and Monetary Union,
if their own country would be able to meet the requirements and what
the consequences would be if it did not, when euro coins and notes
might be introduced, how the introduction of the single currency
should proceed, and how it would affect economic policies and
transactions. Questions about energy use and consumption covered
problems that could affect the environment, if respondents had made
attempts to conserve energy use in recent years and how they might do
so in the future, how effective public bodies were in saving energy,
and whether energy investment decisions should be left to market
forces or to public bodies. Views regarding the availability and cost
of energy resources over the next ten years, the importance of nuclear
energy, the role of taxes in energy consumption, and whether public or
private transportation should be favored in traffic planning decisions
were also elicited. A battery of questions about developing countries
focused on whether respondents thought there was a need to help poorer
countries to develop, whether their own governments provided
development aid, whether the European Commission provided such aid and
if so, how much, and whether such aid should be increased or
decreased. Other questions probed for opinions on whether developing
countries used aid money to purchase goods from the EU, whether the
Community's aid should be made better known, and how profitable it was
to invest in developing countries. Respondents were also asked if they
thought Europe, the United States, or Japan was best placed to help
poor people, where Europe's exports were sent, if development aid
helped to solve certain social and economic problems, and if they felt
they received accurate accounts about developing countries from
newspapers and television news programs. A few questions also focused
on perceptions of the rights of citizens of the EU and where
information could be located about such rights. Citizens from Germany,
Spain, France, Italy, and the United Kingdom were asked about their
attitudes toward other EU countries, which countries should join the
Monetary Union, how important the introduction of the single currency
by January 1, 1999, was, and how likely it was that the deadline would
be met. Demographic items included age, gender, marital status,
household size, monthly income, education, size of community, region,
and occupation.

This round of Eurobarometer surveys queried respondents on
standard Eurobarometer measures, such as whether they attempted to
persuade others close to them to share their views on subjects they
held strong opinions about, whether they discussed political matters,
and what the EU's goals should be for the next ten years. Additional
questions focused on the respondents' knowledge of and opinions on the
European Union (EU), including how well-informed they felt about the
EU, what sources of information about the EU they used, whether their
country had benefited from being an EU member, and the extent of their
personal interest in EU matters. Another major focus of the surveys
was the rights of EU citizens as well as issues of work safety, sun
exposure, and personal interviews. Respondents were asked about their
knowledge of and the importance of rights such as traveling, working,
buying, investing, studying, voting, and receiving medical care
anywhere in the EU. Respondents provided further interpretation as to
the meaning of some rights by indicating whether the right to live
anywhere includes the right to permanently relocate, work, vote, or
retire, if the right to work anywhere includes the right to set up a
business, receive unemployment, receive retirement pay, or work as a
civil servant, if the right to study includes equal access to schools,
universities, scholarships, or exchange programs, and if purchasing
rights include the right to buy any amount of goods for personal or
other use. Questions concerning work safety asked respondents about
their satisfaction with steps taken to guarantee health and safety in
the workplace and whether employers, government inspectors, worker
representatives, company committees, or individual workers should
contribute more or less in order to reduce work accidents or
work-related illnesses. Responses were also elicited regarding whether
health and safety in the workplace contribute to worker efficiency,
benefits for the people, economic benefits, and costs that are
difficult for the employer to cover. Issues surrounding interviewing
and personal data were also investigated. Respondents were asked if
interviewing is a proper scientific tool, whether the interview format
allows people to express their opinions, and whether it enables
decision-makers to take people's views into account. Respondents were
also asked if interviewing represents a form of intrusion and whether
people need legal protection against the misuse of data. Respondents
also indicated whether they thought individuals should have the
decision as to whether their personal information can be passed on to
someone else. Respondents' attitudes and opinions about sun exposure
were also probed. Questions included whether respondents thought sun
exposure was good or bad for their health, how best to protect
themselves from the sun, and what type of skin, eye color, and hair
color they had. Questions also examined respondents' opinions on
European currency. Demographic and other background information
provided includes respondent's age, sex, marital status, and
left-right political self-placement, as well as household income, the
number of people residing in the home, and region of residence.

This round of Eurobarometer surveys queried respondents on
a few standard Eurobarometer measures such as whether they attempted
to persuade others close to them to share their views on subjects they
held strong opinions about, whether they discussed political matters,
and how they viewed the need for societal change, but the primary
focus of the surveys was on employment, unemployment, and gender
equality. During the fieldwork for Eurobarometer 44.3 (see
EUROBAROMETER 44.3: HEALTH CARE ISSUES AND PUBLIC SECURITY,
FEBRUARY-APRIL 1996 [ICPSR 6752]), an oversample (approximately 300
per country) of unemployed persons and housewives/househusbands, aged
15 years and over, was added to the basic sample and subsequently
administered an additional set of questions. Students and retired were
excluded from the oversample. Respondents who were employed or
self-employed were asked questions concerning their job titles, the
ratio of women to men holding the same title, number of people
employed at their workplaces, how long they were continuously
employed/self-employed, how they found out about their jobs, the type
of organizations for which they worked, the number of hours worked,
job satisfaction, the type of communication equipment used, and the
circumstances under which they would reduce their hours or take unpaid
leave. Employed and self-employed respondents were asked about the
pay, training, skill level, variety, amount, pressure, and interest
involved in their work. They also compared their jobs with jobs they
were doing five years ago. Non-self-employed workers provided
additional information regarding their level of involvement in
decisions that affected their jobs, existence of promotional
opportunities, indices of pay raises or dismissal, likelihood of
leaving their jobs, and commitment to their current employers.
Questions posed to unemployed respondents covered how long they had
been unemployed, their former occupation, reasons for leaving their
last position, and whether they had received any compensation. They
were also asked if they were looking for a job, what approaches they
used to find a job, the amount of time spent looking for a job,
problems in trying to find a job, whether they would consider a
position requiring different skills, a lower level of skills, worse
physical conditions, or different hours, or if they would relocate.
These respondents also indicated whether they had experienced boredom,
depression, family tensions, loss of self-confidence, not enough
money, increased difficulty in rearing children, or lack of contact
with people as a result of being unemployed. All respondents were
asked questions concerning gender equality. Respondents were asked to
assess the current work situation for women with respect to wages, job
security, promotional opportunities, and the number and variety of
jobs available. Respondents were also asked to evaluate reasons why
women less often held positions of responsibility and to prioritize
areas of action to be taken to remedy existing
inequalities. Respondents also rated the impact of women's working on
the well-being of men, children, women, families, and
couples. Demographic data collected on respondents include gender,
age, nationality, marital status, occupation, income, left-right
political self-placement, age at completion of education, number of
people in household, number of children under 15 in household,
subjective size of community, and region of residence.

This round of Eurobarometer surveys focused on health
issues, public security, awareness of consumer protection legislation,
sickness benefits allocation, and attitudes toward the police. In
addition, respondents were queried on a few standard Eurobarometer
measures, such as whether they attempted to persuade others close to
them to share their views on subjects they held strong opinions about
and whether they discussed political matters, and how they viewed the
need for societal change. Respondents provided information about their
personal health care, including their general state of health, number
of hospital stays, types of examinations received, and whether they
had been on a diet, as well as their perceptions of heart
disease. Respondents also answered questions about the health care
system in their countries and indicated how well health care was run,
to whom the government should provide health care, whether the
government should spend more money on health care, and if they were
willing to pay more taxes or have the government spend less on other
things in order to contribute to health care. A number of questions
concentrated on sickness benefits allocation. Questions concerning
public security included how safe respondents felt walking alone near
their homes, how often they had witnessed drug-related problems near
their homes, if their homes had been broken into, and whether they had
been attacked or seriously threatened. Respondents were also asked
about their awareness of consumer protection legislation adopted or
introduced by the European Union (EU) in areas such as import, postal
services, toy safety, pricing, packaging, advertising, contracts,
holiday conditions, and court proceedings. Opinions were also
elicited on the police, type of contact respondents had with the
police, and the cooperation between the police forces from EU member
states. In addition, respondents answered a series of questions
concerning their views on employment, unemployment, and gender
equality. These data are reported in a separate collection,
EUROBAROMETER 44.3OVR: EMPLOYMENT, UNEMPLOYMENT, AND GENDER EQUALITY,
FEBRUARY-APRIL 1996 (ICPSR 2443). Demographic and other background
information provided includes respondent's age, gender, nationality,
marital status, left-right political self-placement, occupation, age
at completion of education, household income, size of household, car
ownership, region of residence, and subjective size of community.

This round of Eurobarometer surveys queried respondents on
standard Eurobarometer measures, such as how satisfied they were with
their present life, whether they attempted to persuade others close to
them to share their views on subjects they held strong opinions about,
whether they discussed political matters, what their country's goals
should be for the next ten years, and how they viewed the need for
societal change. Additional questions focused on the respondents'
knowledge of and opinions on the European Union (EU), including how
well-informed they felt about the EU, what sources of information
about the EU they used, whether their country had benefited from being
an EU member, and the extent of their personal interest in EU
matters. Another major focus of the surveys was expectations and fears
regarding the EU. Respondents were asked whether they feared economic
crisis, loss of power for smaller member states, increased crime, more
foreign workers, language acculturation, richer member countries
paying for less rich countries, slower decisions due to bureaucracy,
disappearance of small and midsized farms, businesses, and fisheries,
loss of social benefits, transfer of jobs, massive imports, more
taxes, decisions being imposed by the bigger member countries, and
loss of national identity. Respondents were also asked to evaluate the
likelihood of such situations occurring. Expectations of the EU were
assessed through questions concerning whether areas such as defense,
employment, culture, environment, consumerism, agriculture and
fishing, immigration, border control, transportation, importation,
social justice, equality, law, crime, and research should be
considered key priorities for the EU. Opinions were sought on the
necessity of various policies to further EU progress, which groups of
people (such as students, retirees, the unemployed, large companies,
farmers) were in favor of the EU, and which countries and groups
benefited most from the EU. Respondents also provided information as
to which areas of policy they believed should be decided by the EU and
which decided by their national governments. With respect to further
progress in building Europe, respondents not only described their
reactions to this concept but also indicated whether they thought it
was necessary to implement a single internal market, a common
agricultural policy, a European social policy, a European environment
policy, one European foreign policy, one army, a European currency,
one tax system, an elected European government, and European
citizenship in addition to national citizenship. Demographic and other
background information was elicited on the number of people residing
in the home, household income, and region of residence, as well as the
respondent's age, sex, marital status, occupation, and left-right
political self-placement.

This round of Eurobarometer surveys, which diverged from
the standard Eurobarometer topics, queried respondents on their
working conditions. Respondents provided general information about
their jobs, including occupation, type of contract, years/months in
job, wages, hours worked weekly, number of people working under their
supervision, and length of commute, as well as size and business
activity of the company where they worked. Specific questions about
the work environment concerned the amount of exposure to vibrations,
noise, high and low temperatures, fumes or other dangerous
substances, and radiation. Respondents were also asked whether their
jobs involved painful or tiring positions, carrying heavy loads,
short repetitive tasks, repetitive hand or arm movements, high speed
activity, tight deadlines, computer work, wearing protective
equipment, working with non-employees, and working at home, at
nights, and on weekends. In addition, respondents were asked if their
health and safety were at risk at work, how well informed they were
about job risks, and in what ways their work directly affected their
health. They also provided information on how many times over the
last year they were absent at work because of health problems caused
by their jobs. Information was gathered on workers' control of their
tasks, including the pace of their work, if their work was dependent
on other colleagues or machinery, if they were able to determine the
order or methods of their work, and whether their work involved
complex or monotonous tasks. Other questions focused on work-related
discussions with their boss, colleagues, and employee representatives,
and occurrences of personal discrimination, intimidation, or
physical violence. Respondents also provided information about
training, job satisfaction, and the availability of leave
time. Demographic data collected on respondents include gender, age,
nationality, marital status, occupation, age at completion of
education, number of people in household, number of children under 15
in household, and subjective size of community.

companies, or non-governmental agencies), what
conditions should be met before help is given, and whether the major
part of the EU's assistance to the Third World was devoted to
emergency humanitarian action or to longer-term development. Questions
concerning quality labels for food products included how often the
household bought various categories of food products, the three most
important things people take into account when buying food products,
awareness of and trust in quality labels on food products, awareness
of and purchase frequency for food products with a "Designation of
Origin" label and what the label means, willingness to pay more for
food products of guaranteed origin, consumption frequency for food
products made or produced in the traditional way, and confidence level
if a food product were guaranteed by the EU as to origin and
traditional method of production. Regarding the 1996 InterGovernmental
Conference, respondents were queried on their awareness of the
conference and which fundamental objectives the EU should set within
the scope of that conference. Further questions probed respondents'
opinions on the degree of influence that big and powerful member
states in the EU had, whether trade unions, political parties,
professional organizations, newspapers, radio stations, and TV
stations represented respondents' views about Europe and the EU, how
soon the countries of Central and Eastern Europe such as the Czech
Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia should become members of the
EU, and why they should become members. Other conference topics
included the preferred effect of granting EU membership to Central and
Eastern European countries on aid to farmers, how much weight should
go to each vote in the EU Council of Ministers, which rights were most
important for citizens of the EU, which aims should be given priority
in the EU over the next ten years, the role of the EU in avoiding war
between member states, what the level of cuts in Social Security
benefits should be, Europe's competitiveness in world markets, how
helpful all member states were in working together to fight
unemployment and create jobs, the relative influence of the opinions
of people like the respondent on the decisions made by their national
government versus those made by the institutions of the EU, and the
respondent's length of stay in other countries of the EU. Topics
relating to the European Parliament (EP) included the extent that its
decisions were in the interest of people like the respondent, the EP's
importance in the life of the EU, and areas of policy the EP should
pay particular attention to. Demographic items include age, gender,
marital status, size of household, education, occupation, and
household income.

This round of Euro-Barometer surveys queried respondents on
standard Euro-Barometer measures, such as how satisfied they were with
their present life, whether they attempted to persuade others close to
them to share their views on subjects they held strong opinions about,
whether they discussed political matters, what their country's goals
should be for the next ten years, and how they viewed the need for
societal change. Additional questions focused on the respondents'
knowledge of and opinions on the European Community (EC), including
how well-informed they felt about the EC, what sources of information
about the EC they used, whether their country had benefited from being
an EC member, and the extent of their personal interest in EC
matters. Another major focus of the surveys was on the attitudes and
behavior of European consumers. An initial series of questions dealt
with the buying habits of respondents in a number of areas. The
questionnaire then inquired about complaints respondents may have had
with various products and services, and actions they may have taken on
those complaints. The interview also probed for awareness of various
efforts to protect and inform consumers. Other questions assessed
attitudes towards consumer protection attempts and reactions to
consumer testing institutes. The survey gathered standard demographic
information for each respondent including education, occupation,
marital status, age, and sex, as well as the occupation of the head of
household and composition of the household. In addition to the survey
itself, the ICPSR version of the study contains three constructed
indices. Two of these indices categorize respondents' political
ideology according to their partisan support and their left-right
leanings, and the third index measures the respondents' opinion
leadership in discussions with others about politics. Euro-Barometer 4
contains data gathered from representative samples of respondents aged
15 or older interviewed in each of the nine nations of the EC
(Germany, Great Britain, Denmark, Italy, France, Belgium, Luxembourg,
Ireland, and the Netherlands) in October-November 1975.

This round of Eurobarometer surveys queried respondents on
standard Eurobarometer measures such as public awareness of and
attitudes toward the European Union (EU), and also focused on cancer,
education issues, and the Single European Currency. Respondents were
questioned about their attitudes toward cancer risks and prevention
strategies. They were also asked whether they had heard or read
anything about the European Week Against Cancer, the European program
to fight cancer, or the "European Code Against Cancer". The European
Code Against Cancer, consisting of ten elementary rules for the
possible prevention of cancer, was developed by a committee of cancer
experts from all member countries of the EU. Education questions
concerned whether respondents were satisfied with primary and
secondary schools. Common European currency questions included whether
respondents were for or against having one European currency in all
member states. Respondents were queried about their knowledge of the
Single European Currency and conditions member countries must meet in
order to join the European Economic and Monetary Union. They were also
asked for their opinions about possible outcomes of the changeover to
the Single European Currency. Respondents were further queried about
their time-frame preference for introducing the dual display of both
the national currency and the European currency on goods and services,
their concerns about this changeover, and their opinions about where
useful information on the European currency and the changeover should
be available. Demographic and other background information was
gathered on the number of people residing in the home, size of
locality, household income, and region of residence, as well as the
respondent's age, sex, religion, age when completed education,
occupation, and left-right political self-placement.

This round of Eurobarometer surveys queried respondents on
standard Eurobarometer measures such as public awareness of and
attitudes toward the European Union (EU), and also focused on
cross-border purchases, environmental protection, regional policies,
and agriculture. Respondents were queried about what the Single
European Market should mean, what consumer products they purchased
from member countries, their satisfaction with products purchased from
member countries, obstacles to buying and selling products to other
member countries, and areas in which the EU had introduced measures to
protect consumers. Environmental questions concerned whether
respondents would support various proposals designed to fund the costs
of cleaning up pollution, whether they felt information sources about
the environment were truthful, and whether they would support
"eco-taxes" to slow down the damaging effects of human lifestyle on
the environment. Regional questions concentrated on knowledge of the
Committee of the Regions, sources of information about the EU, and
what the European Commission should do for less developed regions of
the EU. Agricultural questions focused on responsibilities of farmers,
food prices, and the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). Demographic and
other background information was gathered on the number of people
residing in the home, size of locality, household income, and region
of residence, as well as the respondent's age, sex, marital status,
age when completed education, occupation, previous occupation, and
left-right political self-placement.

This round of Eurobarometer surveys queried respondents on
standard Eurobarometer measures such as public awareness of and
attitudes toward the European Union (EU), and also focused on new
member states, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), and
radiation. Questions concerning the addition of Austria, Finland, and
Sweden to the EU on January 1, 1995, were asked, focusing on whether
the addition of these countries would have a positive, negative, or no
effect on individuals, their countries, the EU, gender equality in the
EU, unemployment in the EU, policies toward Eastern Europe, and
worldwide competitiveness. Respondents were queried about
international trade, GATT, and, in particular, economic relationships
between counties and how member states' interests should be
represented and protected internationally. Radiation questions covered
information sources regarding exposure risks and radioactivity levels,
satisfaction with information sources, and opinions about
radioactivity and exposure risks. Demographic and other background
information was gathered on number of people residing in the home,
size of locality, region of residence, and occupation of the head of
household, as well as the respondent's age, sex, marital status,
education, occupation, left-right political self-placement, and
ownership of durables.

This round of Eurobarometer surveys queried respondents on
standard Eurobarometer measures such as public awareness of and
attitudes toward the European Union (EU), and also focused on
cross-border purchases, tobacco smoking habits, and risks of
cancer. Respondents were queried about what consumer products they
purchased from other member countries, their satisfaction with such
products, and any complaints made in connection with cross-border
purchases. They were also asked about their attitudes and behavior
toward smoking, including the type of tobacco products used, the
number of cigarettes consumed daily, the desire of smokers to limit
their consumption, the attitudes of both smokers and nonsmokers toward
the use of tobacco products in public, opinions regarding regulations
prohibiting smoking in some public places, feelings about smoke in the
workplace, and the advertising of tobacco products. A number of
questions dealt with major diseases, the prevention of cancer,
conditions causing increased risks of cancer, and knowledge of the
"European Code of Cancer" (a set of ten elementary rules, developed
by a committee of cancer experts, for the possible prevention of
cancer). Demographic and other background information was gathered on

This round of Euro-Barometer surveys queried respondents on
standard Euro-Barometer measures such as public awareness of and
attitudes toward the Common Market and the European Union (EU), and
also focused on the image of politics in Italy, nutrition and the risk
of getting cancer, and awareness of the European Community Humanitarian
Office (ECHO). EU matters covered included the powers, importance, and
representativeness of the European Parliament, the protection of
personal interests by the European Parliament, and the relative
importance of European political policy areas in future elections.
Respondents were also questioned on their awareness of outcomes in
recent referenda for joining the EU. Questions on the image of politics
in Italy included the respondent's awareness of politics in Italy and
ratings of the political and economic situations in Italy. Regarding
cancer risks, respondents rated 13 food items as increasing,
decreasing, or causing no change in their risk of getting cancer.
Respondents were also asked about their awareness of the ECHO logo,
knowledge of ECHO's humanitarian assistance to the EU as a whole, to
Rwanda, and to Yugoslavia, whether ECHO should increase its
humanitarian assistance to non-EU countries, whether the EU, the United
States, or Japan gives the most money for humanitarian assistance to
non-EU countries, the most effective way for EU countries to give
humanitarian assistance, and the level of involvement by the EU in
distributing money for humanitarian aid. In France only, respondents
were queried on their awareness and consumption of cola drinks.
Demographic and other background information was gathered on the number
of people residing in the home, region of residence, and occupation of
the head of household, as well as the respondent's age, sex, marital

The European Election Study, 1994 (EES-94), is a study of
the electorates of the 12 member states of the European Community:
Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg,
the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and the United Kingdom. The study
focuses in particular on the fourth elections to the European
Parliament conducted in June 1994 and is derived from questions asked
in Eurobarometers 40-42. The questionnaires used in each country were
identical, apart from unavoidable differences in party names. Topics
include respondents' attitudes regarding important campaign issues,
particularly those concerning the European Community and the 1994
European Election, voting behavior and vote intention in national
elections, probability of voting for a particular party, ideological
position and value orientation, and political interest. A significant
portion of the study is devoted to European and/or national policy
topics. Other major areas of investigation include knowledge of and
attitudes toward the European Union, its institutions, and other
member states. Demographic variables include age, gender, date of
birth, education, marital status, size of household and status of
housing, number of children at home, occupation, family income, and
perception of social class.

This round of Euro-Barometer surveys queried respondents on
standard Euro-Barometer measures such as public awareness of and
attitudes toward the European Union (EU), and also focused on the
election of the Parliament for the European Union, which occurred in
June of 1994. EU matters covered included the respondents' general
attitudes toward the European Union and, in particular, their interest
in European politics, general efforts to unify Western Europe, their
own country's membership, their level of satisfaction with how
democracy was working in the EU and in their own country, and the
level of involvement of the EU in important issues of the
day. Questions on the EU Parliament election asked participants if
they had voted in the election, and, if so, for which party they had
voted. Respondents were also queried about their attitudes toward
female candidates in the election, their feelings about important
public figures in general, the role of women in decision-making roles
within the institutions and organizations of the EU, the role of
political campaigns in the election, and their interpretations of the
importance of the results. Respondents commented on how strongly they
thought of themselves as Europeans, their attitudes toward a single
European currency, feelings about the unemployment problem and the
possible need for a massive government program to tackle the problem,
opinions on border controls and other political issues and problems,
feelings about immigrants, the future role of Germany in the EU, and
their level of confidence in the decisions of the EU. They also
described the good and bad points of the European Parliament, its
power, its effects on the lives of individuals, and whether the EU
should develop into a United States of Europe. Demographic and other
background information was gathered on the number of people residing
in the home, size of locality, household income, trade union
membership, region of residence, and occupation of the head of
household, as well as the respondent's age, sex, marital status,
education, occupation, work sector, religion, religiosity, subjective
social class, and left-right political self-placement.
